Just a few holiday decorations from the state of Maine.

.
One must have a sense of humor when using skeletons.
.
.
🤣

Happy Halloween.

Random nonsense and something for Mark…
.
Because there’s never a lack of ridiculous things to talk about.
.
.
Do I need to color rainbow animal poop? I do not, but speaking of pooping animals…
.
.
The required new Lord Dudley Mountcatten shot.
.
.
Another item has been added to the husband’s man cave display of torture implements old tools. A hobbler as seen on the upper left. He says it’s for cows, I’m wondering if it will fit in my purse so I can use it on him the next time we go antique shopping.
And lastly, something for Mark…who has a thing for flamingoes and likes to decorate for Halloween.
.
.
I’m always thinking of you buddy.
.
.
🤣
.
Because the blog series are longer than the vacations.
.
I know I just got through blogging about our trip to the White Mountains of New Hampshire, but guess what? In the time it took me to do that… we took another trip to Vermont. And knowing the kind of detail I like to post about our trips, this series will probably last until Christmas.
So here we go, back to Northwestern Vermont…. where I found this helpful information shortly after crossing the border.
.
.
COW!
.
.
I’ve never swum with a cow, but now I kind of want to.
.
.
Back in Jeffersonville, these wonderful silos greeted us.
.
.
In Stowe? It was a truckload full of cuteness.
.
.
Heading through Smugglers Notch in late October after all the foliage had fallen wasn’t as pretty…
.
.
But following this truck and trailer around the tight bends was interesting.
.
.
Vermont, where red barns….
.
.
Windmills…
.
.
And corn are plentiful.
.
.
But mummified Halloween bears are a little harder to find.
.
.
🤣
.
Classic cinema.
.
It was Halloween season when we were in New Hampshire and as I was blow drying my hair one morning in the resort, I heard strange sounds coming from the living room.
.
.
Turns outthe husband had found one of those mondo bizarro horror movies from the 50’s.. and it was a hoot.
Fiend Without A Face. No need to delve into the plot, just know it was marvelously ridiculous with disembodied killer brains on the loose.
.
.
They boarded up the doors, but it found a way in.
.
.
They chopped it with an ax…
.
.
But they still weren’t safe.
.
.
And just when we thought our damsel in distress could stop wringing her hands?
.
.
Multiple disembodied brains attacked.
Man, they don’t make movies like this anymore.
.
.
🤣
.
Something extra…
.
Dropping one more post in the line up today because it’s Halloween… and some of my friends are disturbed clever.
.
.
Creepiest costume award goes to a woman the husband used to work with. She and her wife go all out for the holiday and seeing her dressed as Pennywise will probably give me nightmares for a week.
I hate clowns!
.
.
In keeping with the Stephen King theme, another friend had a party… and the happy couple from the Shining showed up.
Food is always important…
.
.
As is presentation.
.
.
Here’s hoping your Halloween is equally as creepy creative.
.
Random stuff.
.
For those of you who haven’t seen the header image on my blog this month…
.
.
Flying woodchuck witches seemed more than appropriate.
.
.
Birds?
Yeah, we got ‘em.
.
.
Flocks of hundreds of starlings that fly in and empty our bird feeders in record time.
.
.
I’m guessing “Your nuts are in this box” is not a package most men expect to receive.
.
.
Can you see the beautiful buck hidden behind the blueberry bushes?
.
.
It seems Lord Dudley Mountcatten has had enough of the glorious fall foliage.
And finally, in honor of Halloween…
.
.
I wish I’d seen this sooner.
It’s a holiday yard decoration I could totally get behind.
🤣
.
Pandemic humor
.
You know the drill.
.
.
Sadly, we’re probably not far from this happening in real life.
.
.
Better than burning alive in my opinion.
.
.
I definitely need one of those.
.
.
And yet, we’re still dying by the thousands needlessly.
.
.
And if it’s good enough for Micheal Meyers….
.
I knew it!
.
I always knew mermaids were real… but now?
Now I can prove it.
.
.
Look.
It’s original.
Although I can’t imagine the mermaid’s family and loved ones are pleased with the grave robbing necessary to decorate your holiday table.
.
This is not a trend I want to encourage.
.
Halloween is coming and the holiday themed products are popping up everywhere. While most of them are harmless, I did run across one that made me shiver.
.
.
Uh….. what?
.
.
I’m not sure eating their owner’s body parts is the type of behavior we should be encouraging in our cats.
.
.
Lord Dudley is already pissed we strap him into a harness…. I don’t need him getting any ideas.

White Mountains trip Day 2…. Upper Jackson Falls
Yes… we’re still on the second day of our trip.
And yes, we’re still at the Falls.
Hey, just be glad I’m weeding through the 1704 photos and only giving you the highlights.
Working our way up the falls took some time.
But it really was lovely.
Nothing like hanging out with Mother Nature to lower your blood pressure.
The closer we got to the top, the more people just plunked themselves down on the rocks and made themselves comfortable…
And why not?
It’s a great place to read, unwind…and enjoy the day.
At the top you cross a wonderful iron bridge…
Look both ways…
And say thank you Jackson Falls…
I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you.
And your rocks.
(Or maybe that was just me.)
Done with the Falls, we headed into town for some sustenance.
And found the cutest pumpkin display ever…
Next to our destination.
It looked promising.
Warm and inviting.
A vintage inn and tavern whose bar was packed to the rafters that late Saturday afternoon.
I wanted to love it.
I mean come on, they had ski lift seating….
And a sign for the Woodchuck Trail. Who doesn’t love that?
But the service was terrible, the beer was warm and the food? When it finally came, over an hour after we ordered, was barely edible.
Sorry Martin, I didn’t even bother with pictures. Dry meatless ribs and a soggy Rachel sandwich do not warrant photographs.
But martian pumpkins and gourds?
Definitely do.
River's world.....
