Happy Halloween!

We live at the top of the coastal mountain range and a trip to town is down a winding one lane road through oak forests, huge boulders, beside a mountain creek and past a sacred Chumash cave with paintings hundreds of years old. One of our neighbors always makes this time of year fun for all the neighbors by setting up this scene for Halloween near their driveway on a sharp bend in the road.

A witch riding her broom hangs in the treetops....

Large spider about to surprise unsuspecting lady....
Tombstones with hands coming out of the grave....

Another giant spider (on the left) with victims wrapped in spider webs...skeletons are inside the webs....
Looking forward to seeing some trick or treaters this year. Our boys are too old now for costumes and most of the kids in our neighborhood are older or too young, so we will see how it goes. We still have time to carve our pumpkin just in case we have some visitors!

One more little wool owl I made last night. Hope everyone has a great Halloween!

First of all Mary I can see you live in a very beautiful place!
And then I do love your neighbor's humor! WOW, so much creativity and ideas! The shoes of this lady! All the 'fancy' clothes! The spiders and graves - sooooooooooo scary!!!

Sweet owl too!!

I raced home to take the children out and it was sooo cold, even a few flakes of snow. There was only about 1/3 trick or treaters this year...
Cute little owl.
