October passed without any snow this year. I was pretty bummed out, because I really wanted to see (and photograph) snow on my Halloween bone yard. Luckily, I was busy with other tasks and chores over the weekend and didn't get to taking down the Halloween decorations until Monday, because on Monday morning we woke to snow!

| Snow on the bone yard. I've been thinking of names for our Halloween cemetery; "Valley View" is accurate, but sounds too nice. |
After I got a few shots (and started the fire, made and drank coffee, fed the dogs, ate breakfast, promoted the new items in my Etsy shops all over Facebook, and ran errands), I took down and put away the Halloween decorations (mostly). I'd forgotten that it's almost as fun to pack them up as it is to put them up. Mwahahahaaaaaa!

| Our "beverage fridge," the one in the mudroom, housed all the Halloween specimens this year, including this mask rolled into in that jar. Soaking in cold water for nearly a month stiffened it up, so I let it warm (and dry) on the drainboard in the kitchen before packing it away. |
It snowed off and on all day, but didn't stick around except in little patches here and there and to form the icicles at the end of the front deck handrail.
 |
| Even though they can be dangerous if they fall and damaging if they get too heavy, icicles are one of the visual joys of moving from a temperate climate to a cold and snowy place. |
Ooh, the snow on the bone yard looks awesome! Valley View does maybe sound too nice for a creepy cemetery, but it sure sounds believable, and speaking of believable, if I didn't know for a fact that this was a Halloween prop, I would swear that this was a real graveyard! Good job, woman!
ReplyDeleteI also dig the icicles, danger be damned!
Awww, THANKS, Lisa! I have some plans to make it better and even more realistic. Mwahahahaaaaa!
