Hibbard House Halloween Decorating

Every year, I love to break out my decorations and get in a festive mood. From October 1st to December 31st, my house definitely gets a seasonal look. I always try to keep my decorations simple and modern, but sometimes I get carried away. This year I bought flicker flame light bulbs for my sputnik light in our front window.

Every Christmas, I change the usual star light bulbs to red and green lights. I thought of doing orange lights for halloween and then came across the flame ones....they are soo cool! Here's a short 10 sec video of them in action:


Here's a peek into our halloween decorations:

Trough Vegetable and Herb Garden

We've had our trough gardens on the back patio for about a year and a half. This year our grape vines took off, so Matt created a metal screen for the vines to crawl up. Our basil, which we use in everything, is growing like crazy. We even noticed a few basil plants popping up outside the troughs---score!
