Halloween Decorations at the Barnes' House

When the holidays roll around, my husband and I like to go by the Barnes' house in Marietta to see the decorations.

All I can say is: "You can't make it up!"

The Barnes home with Halloween decorations

Whitlock Rd, Marietta

Balls of orange lights hang from trees in the front and side yards. Giant, plastic blow-up black cats with lighted eyes crouch on either side of the front walkway. Strings of orange lights grace the front porch railings in spider web stylings. A Christmas tree filled with orange ornaments and lights is visible in the front left window. A row of giant, plastic blow-up Halloween figures stands to the right of the garage. Live Christmas trees with white lights twinkle in the back yard (though they are not visible in these photos). 

I think I will have to return in the daylight to see what "more" I have missed...

Mr. Bones Plays a Tune

Between Chattahoochee Ave. and Marietta Blvd. is a special property with a sign you have to see!

What is that to the right?!

A skeleton sporting a sombrero and playing a guitar!

 What's that machine he's sitting on?

Can you hear the tune?

Shop Dog

Muffler King has a new sculpture out front. He's a cute little fella, a shop dog.

It's amazing to me what a creative person can do with a muffler and a few spare parts!

Front view

Yikes! Do you see those teeth?! And those eyes! Kinda cuts back on the cuteness!

Rear View

Maybe I'll just be moving along... quietly, of course...

Outside Franklin, Tennessee, on a beautiful country road, the muffler family welcomes friends and family.

Pig on a Pillar

Just off Howell Mill Rd there is a quiet, well manicured, charming neighborhood with a most unusual representative - a cement pig on a stone pillar.

Other neighborhoods have eagles and lions protecting their driveways... I think I would enjoy living in this neighborhood!
