Happy Halloween: October 31 2025

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween. I suppose not everyone celebrates this holiday. It’s one of my favorites! I love the colors, the fall season, and all the silly and spooky decorations!

I spent the day working, then playing in my pickleball league for two hours (during which my husband answered the door for the trick-or-treaters), and then he and I watched the second-to-last baseball game of the World Series.

Are you watching? Who are you rooting for?

Anyway, back to Halloween, I’ll share a few more pictures of decorations around my house. The first was an electric Jack-o-lantern that I put out on my porch each year as we head toward Halloween. Here are more pumpkins!

The next one is a ceramic one. I always put a battery operated light inside that shimmers.

The next one is a candle. It finally burned out toward the end of the evening, so it will not be making an appearance next year.

Next up, a Jack-o-lantern with a battery operated light inside.

These are some light-up decorations I put in the window, as viewed from outside.

And here are some ghost lights I hung up in the kitchen window.

A few more!

Last but not least, my bat lights!

Thanks very much for stopping by!
