I love your paper lanterns! I didn't put out any decorations at all this year. The few neighbors that I do have are all elderly and don't have any children, and I don't have any trick or treaters that come to my door. I loved Halloween when I lived in town and there were lots of kids coming trick or treating. Now it's just another day
I understand. I used to do Halloween and trick or treaters BIG !.... when I was younger and lived in neighborhoods full of children. My husband and I and some of our friends did a haunted yard several years and people came and walked through it for free and then got some candy too ! Like most things in life, there is a season and it seems that season in my life is in the past. I usually have windsocks or etc hanging out front and I can see anything I hang there through my front windows, so I suppose it's just as much for me as anyone. It only took a moment to hang them out and I have enjoyed them. I like the nearly-no-effort decorating like that. :)
I have some wonderful Halloween memories also. The seasons of our lives do change, don't they.
They sure do ! :)
