POTD: In The Gloaming

>

(With apologies to Annie Fortescue Harrison and Meta Ored.) This is our own Beall-Dawson House, with just a subtle hint of holiday on the outside, decorated inside! You should go look at it this season. I love the lamplight.

(Actually, it’s not in the “gloaming.” It’s whatever the opposite of that word is. But I love the sound of it so . . . yeah.)

POTD: Brr, It's Cold In Here

>

(With apologies to Bring It On.) I could not resist stopping when I saw this little guy all bundled up for the weather.

POTD: The Waiting

>

(With apologies to Tom Petty.) This title only makes sense if you know that I took this photo a couple of weeks ago and have been sitting on it, impatiently, until I could run it today. It is, to me, the perfect pan-holiday use of a pumpkin.

POTD: Smashing Pumpkins

>

(With apologies to . . . well, you know.) See what can happen in these dangerous times?

POTD: We Got All Lined Up

>

(With apologies to Shriekback). This house was allllll ready for the evening’s festivities.

POTD: Wet Pumpkins

>

These are wet from the recent rains. They are on my porch. Please do not smash them tomorrow night.

POTD: For Grins

>

It may be raining outside, but just a couple of days ago, when this picture was taken, it was summery!

POTD: Do I Have A Bug On Me?

>

This house is definitely in the running for best decorated this year.

POTD: Cousin Itt

>

(With apologies to the Addams Family.) You’re starting to see more folks like this around. It’s that time of year.

POTD: High Noon

>

They just don’t seem scary in the daylight, do they? But check out that spider web.
