Fort Collins, CO
No, not exactly a motorcycle post (as in ride) but there are motorcycles...
In case you haven't noticed... the Biker Witch video should have been your first clue... Fall is my favorite time of year and Hallowe'en is my favorite holiday... I (actually WE since Tim is such a good sport) deck the place out in spooky splendor... the whole place - inside and out - nearly every room.
This Boney Biker was last year's BOO-Gift from our friends and, as it happens neighbors (the Browns).
Much of our Hallowe'en decor (inside and out) is manufactured by friends, family and ourselves. The excellent silhouette yard signs that are the foundation for the yard decor were made by The Folks back in 2000/2001. That's my Mummy Texas Mom in 2001 in the photo. The signs have traveled from Texas to Wyoming and now, Colorado. Year before last they got a new coat of paint, but otherwise are holding up well.
The scarecrow frames are made by Tim. He makes something new every year. One year he made giant jacks out of tree trunks. Those are inside. This year's addition is five evil punkin'head (the ones with black heads) trick-or-treaters. (Last year the evil tots were on giant springs.) This is the project we kept putting off because it was such great riding weather. I've dropped a hint that I wouldn't mind a stick cat to go with them. Let's see how I do. Ha! If the weekend isn't good for riding - it's a sure bet. Otherwise, who cares? Let's ride. lalalalalalala...
My contribution to the chaos is primitive Hallowe'en witches, cats and other critters with a somewhat gothic (dark) look. These creations are scattered throughout the decor. Otherwise, my job is to get it out and make it look good or rather spooky or at least gothic.
So, in case you are stuck in the house - with nothing better to do - here is some eye candy of the house and grounds.

Believe it or not... this isn't all of it... stay tuned
