Punkins and owls

Ever since Halloween, the air surrounding a variety of porches have begun smelling like rotting pumpkins. Apparently people don't like to clean up their jack-o-lanterns after the holiday. I don't mind though, they make for some funny-looking pumpkins once mold and rot starts to seep in. In a way, they make the jack-o-lanterns look creepier.

Haha, the pumpkins almost look like they need dentures since their mouths are kind of curling inward. With the holidays coming, I wonder what kind of new lawn decorations I will encounter? There was one house in which I had to walk around graves, zombie hands, and bloodied body bags, in order to get to the mailbox on the porch. What obstacles will I encounter this time I wonder?

Another thing I encountered a few days ago was a loud crowing sound coming from the top of this building in which a realtor resides.

                                                   

I saw the owl in the window and figured that was probably the cause of the noise, but I was still perplexed as to why. Upon discovery of the mail receptacle inside the doorway, I saw an anti-bird alarm system. Apparently the owl statue caws whenever birds come close? And then by doing so it scares off the birds? All I know is that the danged thing was really loud and why local businesses did not complain to the realtor about the noise the darned thing makes I don't know.
