Fall decorating may be a bit easier this year with these colorful ears of Indian corn, gourds, and mini-pumpkins to place around the house. Clan Duncan Hill has two identities. It is a real hill, surrounded by thousands of acres of public land. Coyotes live and raise their young here, along with mule deer, badgers, porcupines, cottontails, jack rabbits, hawks, owls, quail, ground squirrels, frogs, salamanders, snakes, and countless small birds. The wind sings through sage and pines.
Water trickles from the springs to small ponds hidden in the trees.
At Halloween, there are flaming torches along the paths. Three graveyards appear as if by magic. A Sorcerer holds court in what used to be the computer room, and Shelties follow the people all over the property as flags, skeletons, flaming pools, eye-demons, ghosts, warning signs, disembodied hands, and many other strange things are put into place. Clan Duncan Hill is also a dreamscape, and at Halloween, this is immediately felt by all visitors. Cares of the day are forgotten, flames dance happily, and guests become creatures of the night in a quest for treasure.
