Halloween – tierneycreates

October 2023 I posted about a house in the neighborhood I often walk in that I felt “won Halloween“ – The House That Won Halloween – due to their extensive and creative decorations (tastefully done and not too over-the-top):

(see the October 5, 2023 post for all my images of their awesome decorations)

Well, I was walking by the house the other day and once again they have their awesome Halloween decorations out but this time they added a BIG item to the group – a GIANT skeleton coming out of the ground!

It is massive and just compare it in the image to the house in the background which is a large house to give you an idea of the size of this skeleton!

Yes this house is so fun to walk by; and it continues to “Win Halloween” in the neighborhood!

I know we are still a couple weeks out from Halloween but I was walking Mike this morning (more on that later) and discovered a house in my neighborhood that is winning Halloween in my opinion! Here are the photos which of course do not do their whole spooky vibe justice:

Can you imagine being a 6-year old kid on Halloween and your parents are trying to convince you to go up to that front door and ask for candy!?!? I would be like “H*ll to the No” (why yes, I would be swearing as a 6-year old kid if asked to go up to that front door – ha!).

The family that owns this house has likely spent thousands of dollars on Halloween and clearly loves this holiday! The decorations are HUGE and very high quality, nearly (low budget) movie set quality on some pieces (like I said, the photos do not do it justice).

So earlier in this post I mentioned I was walking Mike. Some of you might remember in January 2023 I had a terrible twist/fall on ice and broke my left ankle in two places requiring surgery for my complex fracture. It’s been a long road to recovery but I am now regularly walking Mike again and able to go on long-ish walks. I am so grateful as it was the first time in my adult life (January to April 2023) that I could not go on daily walks. It was a rough time mentally, physically and even “spiritually” for me – going on daily walks is everything to me.

I’ll write more about Halloween later in this month, I’ve been thinking about some sweet memories from life in Oregon related to Halloween and will share in another post.
