Fa-BOO-lous!

Spooky season is finally here, and it’s one of my most favorite times of the year—so we decided to get festive. We got out our skeleton crew and went a little creative this time, and I think the results were pretty fun. As I have stressed to our friends and neighbors, this little scene is NOT art imitating life; it is pure fiction. To kick off your Halloween revelry, let me show you the scene taking place at Chateau de Chaos this fall:

He’s got his yard work to do, and she is enjoying a well-deserved break in her lounge chair. This seems like the way the world should work.

Bone Mower is keeping things looking tidy in the yard.

Meanwhile, Suzanne Skelebaker is taking the afternoon off while her trusty guard dogs keep watch.

She’s taking a break from Garden & Gun in favor of Goblin & Ghoul (more seasonal ideas in the October issue, we hear). Is it horrible that I want to borrow Suzanne’s muumuu?

Did I mention we light up at night? (But of course).

We took our skeleton theme right up to the front door with this fun wreath. I dare say, we are ready for the tricks and treats of the season!

We have had lots of passersby, kids walking into the display, photos being snapped, and quite a bit of fun already, which was our ultimate goal. Life is too short to be taken seriously—no bones about it. Happy October!
