Every year, my neighbor Peter goes all out for Halloween. His front yard ghoulish display is among the best I've ever seen. Each year he even adds a new character or prop. Last year it was a full sized coffin. This year it was the Mummy. A
larger than life Frankenstein is a standard feature of the tableau.
Frank and the Mummy have retreated
into the garage. It’s a wise move. They may inflict shivers and chills on
children but they are no match for Frankenstorm. Yesterday, three days before
Halloween and in the face of Frankenstorm, the display came down.
I’m thankful too. Fifty mile an hour winds could easily put
Peter’s monsters on the move. I like them just fine in his yard but not so much
sticking their heads through the screens on my screened porch.
Our display is much more modest. Since CG was just a little
girl Mama Wordbones has always put a simple little homemade ghost in a front
yard tree. That ghost is gone now too.
Peanut got some good news this afternoon. HoCo schools are giving up the ghost too. HCPSS announced at noon that public schools will be closed tomorrow.
At WSw the temp is now 56.3 degrees, and humity is 66%. Pressure continues to drop at 29.42 inHg.
Average wind speed has doubled to 4 mph.
