Great Pumpkin Project ~ Day 2

Note:  The roof over the front door has fallen and can't get up...

Great Pumpkin Project ~ Day 1

Great Pumpkin Project ~ Day 1 

St. Benedict's Haunted Hospital in Sterling, Colorado.  I grew up here...northeast Colorado...and yes, several people truly believe it is haunted.  Many, many stories...faces in the elevator...faces in the windows...no power in eons and yet, the lights still come on....

St Benedict's Haunted Hospital

Creeping closer to October...

Toes up...

Morning sunshine...

And miles to go before I sleep...

Rode hard...

Last year...

Last year photos.  This year won't look much different.  These two sentinels on either side of the front door give me that..."ahhhh" feeling.  I like them.  I like that they are at least 9 foot tall.  I like the dead sagebrush arms lifted high above their heads.  I like the flicker lighting in the pumpkin heads.  I like that they look either out to the street or down at the doormat.  And, yes, I did get on my knees and look up to get the angle of the head perfect for knee high tall TOTs.  I just like them....ahhhhhh...

ahhhh

A little of this...a little of that...

Got some teeth, got some turkey claws, got some skunk oil...what am I missing?

Oh yeah...more space....damn the bad luck...

Nothing but happy here...

Kinda old school

It's all about the shoes ...

Classic Black

Bats in Belfry ...

We've had these wooden Bonnie Barrett bats since time eternal.  Love them.  I hang them from wires over the front entry.  The winds does bash them around a bit and they've flown away from time to time.  They're getting a little worn looking and if you look closely the one at the top has had his wing broken.  My husband, my sweat tech, stapled his wing as an easy solution.  Now we have a Frankenbat....

Bats in our entry

Pinhead...

 The obsession this year...heads.  I had a box of horse nails left over from the last century....a stained glass project.  It is almost disturbing how relaxing it was to push these nails into a head in somewhat of a grid pattern.  Who knew...

My version of Pinhead...

Great Pumpkin Project



I am so excited about this project.  It started last year and I hope it grows each year.  Last year I couldn't participate but I've been casing out locations all year long.  I'm shooting for all 31 days............

Styling...

Looking forward...

I'd like to give a thumbs up to:  Spoonman.com
He had a booth at a local show here last fall.  It was heaven for weirdos.  The styling glasses are from his imagination.   Styling specs and more...

Spring planting...

A few years ago I broke up a couple of skulls, stuck them in pots, and planted plants.  It wasn't quite the look I was going for but I left them outside and I keep adding plants each spring.  I had forgotten that I stuck a solar light in one of my pots.  I took the trash out after dark and here's what I found.  I like it.  I like it at night, in the dark....

Love the lighting...

Oh baby...

Ok, my witches, it's all about the ride...

I found this on Pinterest and Facebook.  I tried to find the original post and found this:
   

You don't need to be a freegan to think this is a fantastic deal, but someone on craigslist posted thisadvertisment for a free used witch broom in New Hamshire.  Ad text follows:

FREE, the perfect ride for your mother in law or for some of you-your wife. I have only one available and cannot hold. This will be a first come-first serve basis. Great gas mileage, very little use, was parked most of the year under cover and only taken out in the cool month of October. Does not burn oil or leak fluids. No dents or even road blasting, everything works as it should, divorce forces placement. My loss is your gain! Happy halloween!
