Rural Roadside Halloween

Before posting any more about our waterfall hikes, I thought I'd insert this Halloween special, scenes from a drive along rural Route 11 in northern New York, between Lawrenceville and Malone. A farm stand with plenty of jack-o-lantern materials:

A smaller farm stand, but also with home grown pumpkins:

And the owners of this house appeared to have been good customers of the local pumpkin growers:

Tiny ghosts and a giant pumpkin, with a horse barn out back:

Fake spider webs all over the shrubbery, with lots of other Halloween decorations to mark the holiday. This house also was for sale, I noticed:

Lots of plastic gravestones out front, but the best decoration of all was their flaming red maple. It also appeared that their Christmas lights were in place and all ready to be plugged in when the season arrived:

Pumpkins and scarecrows galore:

A ghost among the pumpkins:


This house was not on Route 11 but on the county road just down from my place. It had a black cat with lighted eyes, a spider and a tower of pumpkins. From that tree on the left hung small ghosts and goblins which fluttered in the breeze (you can see one of the ghosts just above the mailbox). The afternoon fog added to the haunted scene:

And a whole field filled with scarecrows and gravestones. Happy haunted Halloween!:
