The Pacific Northwest is known for famous hauntings, myths of eerie creatures, and ancient indigenous folklore. Our evergreen forests and misty coastlines, only add to the mystery of our corner of the country. (Maybe that's why I love to include magical elements in my stories!)
The 10-foot Grim Reaper pictured above belongs to a farm not far from our home. Creations such as this one are not uncommon in the rural region where we live. Large, handcrafted animals dressed for the holidays are displayed prominently during the winter months. While my husband and I consider ourselves to be creatives, we've not yet displayed anything quite so grand. Here's our meager porch decoration for autumn.
