Skeleton season

It's that time of year again. Even though the leaves are late, just now beginning their shift to gold - orange - red, Halloween is Friday. 

This past weekend I helped out at the local farmer's market. The mayor was running a table with treat bags and gave out prizes for the best dressed pets. The parks department had a pumpkin painting event at the other end of the market. I bopped between the two, helping out and needed but mostly enjoying the day. 

My town is a little over the top as far as holiday decorations are concerned. They really pull out all the stops for Christmas, but this year, thanks to those jumbo skeletons that people bought during the pandemic, we've turned into skeleton town.

These are a few of my favorites. I really love the plague doctor - that one's right down the street from me - and the skeleton on a bicycle is also particularly cute.
