A seasonally appropriate question today.
.
.
I’ve always had a strong aversion to candy corn, and I simply refuse to acknowledge the idea that raisins are candy… but my answer is circus peanuts.
Those things are disgusting no matter the time of year.
Fill my bag with Tootsie Rolls, Smarties and licorice and no one will get hurt.
My furry Dracula agrees.
.
.
With a special thank you to Matt for the spooky rendering of His Lordship.
❤️
Back to the candy…
Which is your worst?
.
.
When I had my knee replacement surgery I didn’t give any thought to saving money on a Halloween costume, but apparently I will.
.
.
Though why anyone would want one of these I don’t know. I have the real thing and trust me, it’s not fun.
.
.
Yes please!
I carefully separate products in our shower. Shampoo is on the left, conditioner on the right. But when my thoughtful husband scrubbed our shower after I came home from the hospital he mixed them all up and I shampooed with conditioner and conditioned with shampoo. A big S and C would have been very helpful.
.
.
I saw this on Facebook and instantly cringed. My late MIL was the queen of ambrosia salad. She brought it to every pot luck and get together … even though no one liked it but her.
🤢
.
.
Winter is coming and I’m about as inactive as I’ve ever been.
I feel you bear.
I really do.
.
.
Just a few holiday decorations from the state of Maine.
.
.
One must have a sense of humor when using skeletons.
.
.
🤣
.
.
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.
.
.
🤣

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.
.
.
🤣
.
.
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.
.
.
🤣
.
.
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.
.
.
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.
🤣
.
.
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 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.
