You know, I used to believe in hiding this kind of thing. Building in secret. Holding back. Then we started going big…I remember it was the totems we first built out in the driveway. Neighbors stopped and asked. By now, most of them know about my strange tendencies toward Halloween.
I get plenty of “what is that”. “How are you doing that?” And the odd “Where did you get that idea?”
I try to take the time to answer as best I can.
This afternoon, we were finishing up the waterproofing of the Chimera. Off in the distance, a “turn here”.
“Over there!”
“See, doesn’t that look SCARY!?!”
I looked up in time to see a car driving by. Too slow to recognize…but that made my day.

With you having some pieces out now, and working on them it’s an awesome way to advertise for Halloween. People are going to be even more excited to see what you’re working on the following months, and definitely come back for the holiday.
P.S. Jesse and to tell me how to say “Chimera” In one of our Sunday school lessons. It fascinated me and blew me away that my husband knew what it is.
