torn by the rain...or not

This was our year. The one where we actually were going "all in" on the mini carnival in the front patio. I bought the prizes for the games, duck pond and ball toss. We planned the booth for the fortune teller, we got a door system rigged up (on paper), we had lights planned out, we bought a fog machine. We thought we had covered all the bases, except.....................the rain.

On this past Saturday we put the finishing touches on the patio, lights on the house, spooky ookies in the big pine tree out front, and then we listened to the weather report and we are supposed to have rain Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Boo, Hiss.

Here are some photos of the outside of Casa de Cuckoos. And yes, we do like to overdo.

approaching our house

and then we open the gate and...............

yes, that is the Halloween tree in the front window

this photo is for you Ms. Magaly

So we dropped back 15 and punted. We will just pass out candy to any that might come and we will watch movies.

Then the weather report changed and now "it might rain".

So what's an olde witchy to do???????
Play it by ear and hope for clear sky's on Saturday morning?
The first plan things are staged in the garage and ready......
If we do, we do, if not then not.
