Come closer…if you dare!

Halloween 2025 is in the books and did not disappoint!
This year the hubs wanted to dress as a Scarecrow and gathered all the parts he needed for his costume as well as picking up some bales of hay for decoration. I helped with some of the details such as drawing his Scarecrow face, stuffing him with hay, and porch decorating, to name a few.
Once we had our supplies we went to work. It didn’t take long before his costume and the porch were ready to go.
The chalkboards were easy since I had made the large one at the beginning of the month and just added the easel. 
The little one did not take long either so it was a nice way to make the porch festive.
Our hydrangeas happened to need a fall trim so we filled crates with the beautiful pedicels to use on the porch as well. They are so beautiful that I could not let them go to waste so they are now inside and will be used to make arrangements for this month.
It was a dark, cold, rainy night but that did not stop the fun. The kids and adults were out having lots of fun. Once we heard the voices outside the hubs got dressed and then we stuffed him with hay. He grabbed his basket of candy and got situated in the old rocking chair on the porch just in time for the first trick or treaters.
He could see just enough through the burlap to tell who was coming up for candy which was fun although, he was careful not to startle or scare the little ones or those he did not know.
It was surprising how few figured it out.
Our “Scarecrow” fooled a lot of kids and adults too.
In spite of the heavy rain it was another 
FUN HALLOWEEN!

Happy November
