Of Window Displays and Broken Cameras

We haven't been doing too many themed windows this year, but last night I put in our Halloween display. Skeleton flamingos - or skelemingos as they say in the trade - and I recycled the twisty trees made by Kate for our Valentine window last winter, add an inflatable Edward Munch scream, some lights, an orange star . . owls, mice, bats, ravens . . . check. Finish with two bags of leaves gathered last week in Vermont. People were walking by, pointing and laughing - making me realize how much people enjoy it when you take the time to do a real display. (resolve - do more!) You'll have to come by and see - or imagine it for now - there is no photo to accompany this blog because on same Vermont trip I dropped my camera on a country road as I struggled to find and answer my cell phone. It was a crisis call informing me that our charge machine had broken - a fate my camera now shares.
