Ghosts, goblins and witches hanging around

It is that time of year again. I am still only just now putting out my Halloween decorations so am rather late this year. My Halloween tree is standing on a small table by our front door. It is nice to see the lights on the branches from outside the front door or through the glass door in our living room. All the ornaments were made by my mother except the little porcelain jack o' lanterns. The tree top is a witch my mother bought for me in Salem when she went there on vacation.


My scarecrow is sitting very chipper on the edge of the wicker vase for the tree. He is keeping an eye on things for us.


The stack of pumpkins and black cat is a little something I bought back in Ohio and the magnet was a gift from my sister. She used to send a little something at this time of year. As some of you already know, Halloween was my sister's favorite holiday and I now do this tree each year in her memory. I always feel like she is looking over my shoulder as I hang the ornaments. She would, of course, be dressed up to try and scare me too. *grins*


What is it about little fairy lights that give such a special glow. I am glad our days are growing shorter and we can light up our evenings this way.


Do you decorate for Halloween?
