Halloween on the Prairie

I've wanted an old fashioned hearse for a few years now. With the help of family and friends last year we were able to build a lifesize one and then a neighbor made me this horse out of chicken wire and his wife covered him up(Blackie). If you look inside there is a lady who wants out but the driver with his red lit up eyes keep driving on! There's a man in a coffin up against a tree(just like they used to in the old west). A few tombstones(one is real!) and then there's me-I'm dressed up in my mourning attire. My best friend, Tete added the huge moon(isn't it cool!) because we don't have any moons out this week! This is how I do Halloween in the country-stay tuned for more pictures of the house!
I'm joining http://idyllhours.blogspot.com/for the Barn Chicks Party!

  2. Looks like you are creative in ALL things you do, including decorating with a hearse!:) Reminds me, my sister once dated a guy whose dad drove a hearse. As her little sister, I was totally freaked out! Now here I am envying your decorations:)

  9. When you said old fashioned hearse I was not even thinking THAT old. Your check boxes gave us the choice of "cool" but this is beyond cool. You have some very special friends to help you pull this together. I think you need to buy them a potion in thanks.

  11. I love how you have your whole blog decorated and changed for Halloween. I am not used to seeing this. Did you really get a hearse? Halloween has always been a favorite & fun time of the year for me. I enjoyed reading your posts. Have a wonderful October! Faythe @GMT
