Halloween Decorations: updated

Today's run was 8 miles and I decided to go through Stephanie and David's neighborhood.  It took a bit of looping around, but I ran around there twice, then back to my neighborhood and added on a teeny bit at the end.  Booyah, 8 miles.  And the weather was not awful.  I was a bit concerned because it is more hot and humid today than it has been a while.  Tonight it should cool off again.  A friend at work said that it might get down to 54F tonight.  Whoa.

The most fun part of my run was meeting a little dog named Chrissy today.  Chrissy was supposed to follow her owner back to the house and didn't, so instead we hung out for a bit.  I figured that being a tiny dog, maybe Chrissy would not want to finish another 2 miles with me.  Then she went back inside.  Also, I saw a dog in a bike basket today.  Only one.  I think that it was a different person.  So apparently taking your dog around in a bike basket is trendy in this neighborhood.

On to the Halloween decorations:

I'm not sure that fake spiderweb on the shrubs is that good a look.

Like I said, this neighborhood is in the Halloween spirit!

This would be a lot of fun if you were a kid, I think.

I'm not sure that I would want a large, fake spider on my porch in Florida.  Too similar to a large, real spider.

This is actually at the house that was featured last time.  A later add.  I wonder if they also put it up for Gasparilla, Tampa's local pirate festival.

These next few photos are all taken from the same place.  Remember the house with the ghost link fence from last time?  They've expanded a bit.

This is *just* the driveway.

The whole yard.

Close-up of the ghosts out front.

For the final picture, I have included a yard that is not in any way decorated for Halloween but would be the perfect setting for some kind of Southern horror story, I think:

That swing is spooky!
