Just about ready

We’ve got the lights strung, all 3 inflatables up, and most of the ghoulish bits. A few more gravestones and a ghost or two and we’re gonna be set  –

My neighbor across the street and his decorations!

Updates to follow, with the 31st being the ‘Grand Finale’.

Gonna pick this up for Guy

Spotted on my walk around the hood –

Just rough enough to be cheap.

Just clean enough to make it a runner.

Now that’s a cool-old driveway

This town really isn’t old enough to have cool-old anything. Sure, it’s been here for a hundred years, but it really didn’t exist for the first 75. To see a cool driveway in this town is different enough. It ain’t the classic Southern Plantation, but it’s what we got –

Notice the interloper? It’s bad enough there’s a 2001 Olds Alero in the shot….

I’m confused

Are they free, or 4 bucks a dozen?

The locals provided no help in answering my question…

Seems that I’ll just have to take a couple dozen and find out????? I’ll be making breakfast omelettes for dinner tomorrow.

No van, but we were down by the river –

Went riding with the Cap boys today

Some things in life are predictable. For instance, take the Capobianco boys out for a motorcycle ride, and they’re bound to find a river to play in –

Really? Is that what we’re going to do today?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And one last thing you can count on; A perfectly good time. Thanks gentlemen for letting me tag along. Good to have you on the left coast John. Don’t let your Finnish/Australian brother Guy contaminate you.

This year of the Summer is still going strong

The flowers are absolutely alive with color. In LATE September no less!

 

 

The Pacific Northwest does not lend itself to fall, and the autumn changing of colors that many people get to experience. Evergreens tend to dominate our landscape. So, we have to go out and look for the fall colors. Tomorrow the motorcycle will be put to use. Hopefully the camera will find some of this color and capture it for me while we’re out and about.

We’ll see.

Mine!

They’re all like this aren’t they?

 

 

Not sure what he thought I had, but he was rather disappointed to find out he wasn’t getting it from me.

Hopscotch anyone?

Neighbor kids found a box of chalk and got to doing what 8 year olds do –

 

They even personalized their Dad’s parking spot –

The way the weather has been going, that’s going to be there a while. It’s rained twice in the last 100 days or something absurd like that.

Dave

That’s what I named him. Seemed appropriate enough –

 

 

He hangs out in Mike’s yard with a few of his cronies. They’re watching out for all the kids now that fall is here. That and Mike is afraid the neighborhood kids will egg his house if he doesn’t put on a good show for Halloween.
