These days, you're lucky just to have a welcome. :-\

Evening Bettermost friends!
Hope everyone is doing well!
Some work was done on the apartment, which meant people coming in, so I was pushed into making sure the place was clean.
:laugh:
Sometimes you need that push.
Now, it's nice to come home and have to do anything! Oh, and the windows are decorated for Easter too!

You are so good about that! I decorate a little bit for Christmas, of course, mainly in the form of a tree but with a few other little things.
On Halloween, I generally drag out the box of stuff at about 5 p.m., put up a few things in the front windows and on the door and that's about it. When my kids were little, we went much further -- I had them draw faces on ghosts made of Styrofoam balls covered with white cotton and hung them in a tree. I had them stuff clothes to make scarecrows wearing Halloween masks. I wove that spiderweb stuff on the porch rails. And of course we carved jack-o-lanterns.
On Mardi Gras, I dragged out the purple green and gold Mardi Gras lights, wrapped them around my dog and took a picture, then hung them in the front window.

You are the second person who I've heard of that decorates for mardi gras.
Just around the corner from my apartment is a house that has three matching windows in the front. Each window has what I call a "light bag" in it. They look like this.
For Christmas, the bags were red and green. Valentine's Day they were red, and St. Patrick's Day they were green. For the week of Mardi Gras, one bag was green, another purple and the last was yellow/gold.

I wonder if my neighbors know why I do it. ???
