10 Day Forecast

I'm liking this forecast so far. Next Wednesday, Father and Stepmother Holidays arrive. Thursday is when we launch our first big wave of decorating for the yard haunt.  Saturday, we will be working on some things indoors, in a garage, or under the covered back porch. Then, if it does end up raining Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, I like the odds of clearing weather by Wednesday (Halloween).  But, of course, this is a 10 day forecast, and I read a National Weather Service article stating this type of extended forecast is only about 40% accurate.

2 Weeks

...till All Hallow's Eve. Getting closer!  All quiet on the Spirit Grove front right now. The Big Bang starts next Thursday.

Revised Decorating Schedule

Weather-dependent, but here's a revised schedule:

Wednesday, October 24- Father & Stepmother Holidays arrive

Thursday, October 25- Tombstones, ghosts, sign

Saturday, October 27- Spray paint/glitter trees & basket; carve Jack o' lanterns

Wednesday, October 31- Leaves, Lanterns, Branches, Bouquets, Enchantress, Gnome, Fog Machine, Dry Ice, Jackos, Music, Candy

Weather

Due to the wind lately, the hanging bats and ghosts have been getting upended and entangled more than usual. In addition, the Spirit Grove sign got a bit displaced by some strong winds earlier today. As a result, I took down the sign and had my Uncle-in-Law take down all the bats and ghosts for the time being. We'll go ahead and wait till Father Holidays and Stepmother Holidays arrive in 10 days to start putting things back up. Looks like we'll have more of a Big Bang at the end this time around. Should be fun! 

Pumpkin Ale

After watching 90 year old Grandmother Holidays bowl again for the first time in about 10 years, I had to celebrate this evening.
