Halloween Decoration Decision
Every year since 1992, I’ve decorated my front yard to look like a spooky cemetery with faux brick columns and painted PVC pipes as a fence. Over the years, the main wall has changed from painted wood panels to cloth to PVC pipes to match the rest. However, as I was going outside to prepare and locate the holes (I use metal conduit attached through eyebolts to hold the main columns in place), I noticed our current landscaping as overgrown into the areas once reserved for the fence and wall. To put the wall in its old location would mean some of it being obscured by bushes and ferns, so that’s out. Now I just have to sit down and figure out what to do to use the old stuff as I have only 2 weeks until Halloween and not enough time to make new stuff. Jeepers!
Stumble it!
if you use spotlights to highlight the gravestones, you may be able to make your overgrown bushes spoopy by having them shine from within the plants. Use their shadows to your advantage, and maybe a few of the stones hiding around too 🙂

ack duplicated post, sorry.
I use spotlights to highlight the gravestones. I just can’t put up the fence on one side and on the other, it would go through the fern forest…lol

Well, the problem is, not disappointing the neighborhood kids who tell me they look forward to this every year. I’ve also had adults come by with their kids that tell me they visited my yard haunt when they were kids. Makes me feel good and quite old at the same time…lol
