Five More Barrels --- Day 13/288

Walk: Hood 

Distance: 3.5

So when Ciwt was out scouting for entrants to her Neighborhood Halloween Decorating Contest last weekend, who should she run into but one of those neighbors spending his weekend decorating.  As you can see, it isn't kids in this contest.  Really to a neighborhood, every house decorator is a full fledged adult and fully into the decorating.  And it isn't even an October event for them; many think about what their homes will look like for a good part of the year and collect decorative objects.  

Some collect wildly.  Like the neighbor at his garage door above. He has already hung a few ghosts and creeped up his patio entry But he has FIVE MORE BARRELS of decorations waiting to be stood, hung, whatever around his home.  He has to wait until after October 19 to do that for reasons Ciwt didn't totally understand.  But he said "Come back after the 19th.  That's when it will all be up"  And Ciwt definitely plans to.   

He also told Ciwt that another grown up neighbor told him their block had TWO THOUSAND trick or treaters last year.  Maybe she'll will go back just for that scary spectacle.
