At The Midnight Hour

 The lighted Spooky House.  G drilled holes in the floor and wall and arranged the lights so they can't be seen.  It really GLOWS! in the dark but will usually be seen in bright McD's store lights.  You and I will know how it looks in the dark!
 At midnight, on my way to bed, I paused to turn off the hall light and finally SAW what my sub conscious had been trying so hard to tell me; the container of candy corn garland that I had purchased and set on the hall table for the Spooky House.  And forgot.  Of course, it was just what the house needed so I got the glue gun out and started unstringing the little candy corn.

 The little rubber rat watched my every move, with those glowing red eyes  of his.

I added lines of candy corn to the top, over and under the windows and then in rows on both the top and middle of both sides of the house.  Because the sides had looked "left out" of the decorating.  Finally, the house was DONE.  G carried it out to the car at 6:15 this morning and I hope it was warmly welcomed by the Morning Coffee Club.  I took these few pictures at 1or 2 in the morning.  I was sure the house would be gone (with G) by the time I got up to go to work.  But he was still attaching a protective, clear plastic guard to the house.  Would you believe that adults are the worst offenders when it comes to trying to pick the "candy" off the houses?

It was raining this morning.  It was raining at lunch.  It is raining now.  Riley actually thought I would be walking him after doggie day care.  But not in pouring down rain.  I am heading for a hot shower and then a nice cozy nap on the couch.  I am very tired.  At work, an elderly customer told a coworker that I was incompetent.  Thank you.  That made my day.
