Okay, so I have to post pictures RSN (real soon now) of my decorations. But tonight, after hosting the writers group, I go outside to see everybody off, I answer some questions about the decorations and the neighborhood. As I'm coming back inside I noticed someone left a calling card next to my door. It was the:
Berea Society for Pumpkin Appreciation & Admiration for Outdoor Phantasmagoria Best Pumpkin Award 2007 First Place, Category, Jack O' Lanterns!
Yippie! I won! I have no idea who they are, but I won!
Actually, having tried googling them, I'm pretty sure it's one of my neighbors tweaking me, but even that is exceptionally cool.
I'd like to thank my wife and who have stood behind me and supported all my purchases and fetishization of outdoor decorations. I would also like to make a shout out to my Grandmother (may she rest in peace) who passed on the gene that expresses the concept "if they don't sell what you want, make your own." (I tend to use decorations the way they weren't meant to be used, and created my own scarecrow with jack o' lantern head, and my own ghosts, one of which is pretty complex). So whomever did this, thanks, it certainly jazzed me. I appreciate it. I'm still giggling inside over it.

Woo-hoo! Exuberant applause to our favorite self-described Yard Decoration Wonk!!
I pulled a bunch of weeds today. I'd rather see a pic of your yard than mine!!
There should be a whole "neighbor appreciation award," anyway. Definitely.
oooh, and I'm w/ Greenyflower:
Pics! Pics! Pics! pics!
I have the pics, I just need to get them transfered and upload. This week, I'll get them up this week.
You're making up for us not putting up our annual Halloween graveyard the past couple of years. Now we have to visit!
Leaf, you know when we're available. Just let us know.
Well I just won the award for 2019 so obviously someone is handing out awards!
