Views of the Neighborhood – Halloween Part Two

~ John W. Howell

Today we are taking another tour of the neighborhood in search of Halloween decorations. I know you may be getting tired of them. Trust me; there are some unusual ones.

So get on the bus. Today we are serving Mai Tai’s or Mimosas in quart jars with fresh fruit; Omelets made to order, Belgium waffles, and candied bacon. For our entertainment, we have Bon Jovi and Sugarland.

Here we have a large spider who has obviously taken over this bush. No, I’m not going up there.

Here is something out of Craig Boyack’s imagination. I don’t think I’m going to bother their mailbox.

Two ghosts as far apart as they can get. It might be a domestic dispute problem.

Here is a friendly spirit. I think he can keep his Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

This poor guy has been chased up a mailbox tower by an undead dog. I think he would be wise to let the dog have the hat.

Here is what happens around Halloween if you leave your car parked in one spot for too long.

Another shot of the rear of the car parked too long.

A happy couple who have just finished their swim.

Someone cautious about wearing a helmet while riding their bike. Too bad the car was so big and heavy.

It seems that bullies come in all shapes and sizes. We need to report this guy.

A couple of pals hanging out with a giant.

I hope you enjoyed the tour. You can hang out a while and listen to music. I hope you have a great week.

  1. What a creative neighborhood!! Skeletons win the trophy for most original and the car with the crawling skeletons tops the charts! It must be an adventure just driving around your community. 😂

  4. They are really getting good at this!! Such imagination is fantastic. It was impossible to pick a favorite, so I’ll finish my bacon and have another mai tai…okie-dokey?

  7. The best thing about this post, in my humble and rather quirky opinion, is that Bon Jovi video. That happens to be more than a favorite song — it helped me get over a speed bump in life. I’ll take on any of those skeletons that are hanging around with that playing in the background!

  11. What a great tour — thank you, John. I especially like the socially-distant ghosts and the immense spider on that bush! Such creative folks in your neck of the woods, my friend!

  17. Wow! How fabulously creative your neighbourhood peeps are! These were great.
    Plus those two videos… How gorgeous is Jennifer Nettles? And I hadn’t seen that Bon Jovi video in a dog’s age. What a great Sunday morning. Thanks.

  19. Wow!!! Your neighbors do it up right, don’t they? I loved all of these, but my favourite was the spider in the first pic! As for the ghosts … I think perhaps they were practicing ‘social distancing’! Thanks for breakfast and this fun tour!!!

  21. Thank you for the tour, John! With that menu, I’d happily sit on the bus and go nowhere:). Would just be nice to be able to be in close quarters with my fellow humans again, enjoying a good laugh and a lovely mimosa.

  22. You are right – these are very unusual and creative. Something for everyone and classy. I’ll take the omelette and a Mai Tai. I think the last time I had a Mai Tai was years ago in Austin. Happy Halloween!

  25. I find the Halloween defilé 2020 more socially highlighted, dear John! There are so many skeletons around! And only one is wise wearing the mask. The yellow bus is beyond comparison! When I look at it I remember one Soviet riddle:What does have the same colour the whole year round? (The original answer is the Christmas tree). The situation in your area is getting gloomier & gloomier. I wonder what expects us on the Halloween day!
    Thank you very much for the report! 🙂

  28. Haha – I think the Halloween views in your neighborhood are a lot more creative than around here. Glad to see that the inflatables aren’t sleeping on the job anymore!

  32. What a fun tour, John! You and your neighbors have a great sense of humor and lots of creativity! I don’t think I can pass up the food and drink, either, so thank you very much! 😉
    Cheers to a great week ahead! 🥂☺
