For a number of reasons it took longer for the tree to get decorated this year than in past years. But, it was finally done (or as done as it was going to be) yesterday. That is good. Still meant that it was decorated within the week.

Though a fair amount has been done — & check these photos too — there is still more to be done. They are working on it while I do this post.

The Pink tree is all set. I will keep you posted.

The lights have to go on before decorating can start.

The lights are now up. I am sure it will be fully decorated by Friday.

The Pink tree is all set. I will keep you posted.

I thought she was done after yesterday’s marathon effort. I was wrong. She found more lights & more decorations. We have a HUGE storage area, above the garage, where all the Easter, Halloween & Christmas decorations get stored. She was up there rummaging around & came down with more stuff. She then spent the better part of today, outside, putting up all the stuff. She loves doing it. So, that is great. She refuses help. This is HER thing. I am glad to let her. House looks good. Pretty impressive.


It Is October 1 & ‘Teischan’ Decks Out The House For Halloween Per Her Tradition.

Halloween, indubitably, is Teischan’s favorite holiday — by far, by far (even though she doesn’t get any presents). She starts thinking about Halloween in July. She has it all planned in her head by September. Since I have a thing about ‘rushing’ holidays she & I have a very informal agreement that she will not put up Halloween stuff until October. Well, today was October 1, & off she went.

For the last few years she does ALL of the Halloween decorations, including the lights, by herself. Refuses help. As she likes to proclaim: “she is an independent woman“! SMILE.

It is great to see her do all this herself. She loves it. She was out for over 6 hours doing all of this. Still a bit more to go. We can’t find the Halloween laser projector (as opposed to the three Christmas ones). I will keep you posted.


Is September 12 A Tad Too Early To Put Out & Light Halloween Decorations?

This was last night, i.e., Sunday, September 12, 2021, on our road.

I will admit that I was a bit taken back. It was the day after 9/11.

Halloween was 49 days away; 7-weeks. Wow.

Doesn’t that seem a tad premature? Kind of ghoulish?
