HAPPY HALLOWEEN 🎃🧙🏻‍♀️👻💀

Alameda Post - Mouf the dog wears a Halloween costume that makes it look like he has a large pie dish on his back. In it are little plushies of vegetables.

The big day has finally arrived, and I am just putting the finishing touches on my costume. This Shepherd will be out and about dressed as Shepherd’s Pie. This tasty treat has carrots, onions, garlic, peas, tomatoes, and of course me. I consulted with Chef John Thiel of Pizzeria Pappo, who graciously allowed me to use his place. Please be sure to try out this great dining establishment on Santa Clara Avenue near Webster Street. There is a nice parklet so even I can enjoy the great food.

This SPECIAL REPORT only covers a few of the many great yard scenes I covered this week, and you can read about the other yards I visited in my regular Sunday report.

For today, please enjoy the three videos covering 1301 Sherman Street, 1325 Dayton Avenue, and one containing all the scenes from some of the many yards that I visited.

Alameda Post - A large Halloween decoration of a witch hovering above a broomstick.

Alameda Post - A huge inflatable witch hand on a yard. It looks like it's materialized from a portal in a tree.

Alameda Post - A decorative screen or tarp across a garage door. The screen is very realistic to look just like a garage door with a scary clown crawling out from a partially open garage door. Scrawled letters say "I see you"

Alameda Post - Two large inflatable light up eyeballs in a tree at night.

Alameda Post - Halloween decor on a porch. A flag says "Kitten of the Catibbean" and large cats and cat skeletons in cat costumes stand amongst ship decor.

I did want to highlight a few individual scenes that I thought were out of the ordinary including the flying witch on the broom, the giant hand holding down the skeleton, a scary skeleton in the garage, a set of mysterious eyeballs, and the Kittens of the Catibbean yard.

Alameda Post - A door hanging decoration that says "Broom Barking" with small decorative brooms on it.

In keeping with a more modest, but nonetheless important expression of the season, I thought this “Broom Parking” door hanger was cute, and “All Others Will Be Toad” to be so clever.

Please be sure to catch my regular Sunday report in the Alameda Post where I will cover all the other yards and decorations I would on my walks over the past few weeks.

Alameda Post - A decorative Halloween sign that says "Boo."

I hope there are lots of treats in your food bowl, and please be careful that none of the goodies contain Xylitol.
