Now that we are week into October, the neighbors are starting to trim their homes with spooky lights and decorations. Darkness fell as we walked the dog this evening, and the streets were aglow with islands of orange and purple, as well as a few inflatables-- Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie, the Headless Horseman.
There were also a few gourds and pumpkins on the stoops of those who either do not know or do not fear the squirrels that will probably eat them long before the 31st. Fake skeletons are also popular, as are the companion fake tombstones, but those decorations are not to my taste.
We even saw a pack of tiny tots dressed up as princesses and super heroes, riding their little three-wheeled scooters.
"What do you think they're doing?" I asked Heidi. "Birthday party?"
"Maybe they're just practicing for Halloween," she laughed.
