Welcome to our Neighborhood





For those of you who have been to our house, you've probably noticed a yard across the street that's ... um ... how do I put this ... quite eccentric. Our neighbor has some rather interesting items in his yard -- all the time.

It all began three years ago just before Halloween. He started his yard display with homemade bigger-than-life versions of Superman, Spiderman, Beetlejuice, etc. And we thought, "Boy, he's really festive. This will be fun."

Now it's evolved into a year-round display of his "artwork", including wooden chairs, trombones, neon orange shapes, etc. (Yes, trombones.) Didn't you know that trombones go along with stuffed animals in the front yard?

Of course, Halloween is the granddaddy of his creations. In addition to his artwork, there are music and random scary sounds blasting from a huge speaker. As I type this, the theme to "Ghostbusters" is playing. I can't knock the guy for being creative, albeit a tad scary.

Here are a few pictures. And I hope he doesn't find out about this post and kill me or something. (No, he's not that scary. But close.)
