Used to be I'd see stuff like big posterboard pumpkins taped the
the front window, that would be a Halloween decorated house!
Heh. In recent years I started seeing orange lights on some houses
like Christmas lights. When I was walking the other night I saw
orange light string cobwebs, very cute. Some of those big lawn
globes.

Too bad we don't get trick or treaters anymore (only a handful) and
there is a curfew. Halloween decorations the kids won't see when
they make their rounds.
