@Star2236 I’m beginning to think that this summer will NEVER be over. It just takes a little break occasionally, like during yesterday’s and today’s rain. (Which I helped instigate by running my sprinklers for 2.5 hours because I got busy and just forgot about them while on the computer. Then went outside and found we’d had about an inch of local rain during that time.)
But nature’s not done with summer. Tomorrow’s high is supposed to be 90 while in the middle of 25% chance of rain.
I would decorate but we never get any kids coming around. Some people say the pit bull has something to do with it. I think they’re nuts. Kids love dogs.
I love seeing peoples yards and houses decorated for Halloween, but I don’t bother doing it myself anymore. We live in a rural area, and the few neighbors we have aren’t the types that would appreciate a spooky scene. Doesn’t really matter to me, because our interior is decorated like it’s Halloween all the time.
Tricky, but a treat if done right. But I only do it for myself and I’m hard to please. I’ve gotten where it’s mostly just programmable LED lights and a prop or two for some atmosphere.
All my neighbors are college kids and they seem to have their own world to live in. Hadn’t had door ringers in years, so have given up on having candy handy.
I need to get me one of those giant home depot skeletons.
@Luko26 My neighbor got one on FB Marketplace for $50
Awesome but stay in your lane bc summers not over yet.
POPSOCKETS! SPA KITS! POLLY POCKETS! AWESOME!

@tweezak And hungry, playful dogs love kids.

Most kids seem to go to group parties instead or door to door.
Still awesome tho
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
I never do it myself, but this there’s a neighborhood nearby that goes all out & I appreciate it & love to walk around and look at it all.
@Kyeh And do you mix with the kids and Trick 'r Treat there (in suitable costume, of course)?

Foir US, next to pointless. We typically get fewer than three visits from treaters, often none.
