Warning: Lots of color ahead!!

While I keep the inside of my home pretty neutral, I do decorate outside with some color in the fall. I just have to!!  Mother Nature showers us with so many gorgeous hues that it would almost be a crime not to. These photos are part of my front porch decor. I added a few more things today. I think the overall look of the porch as a whole is still sparse, but  I can't spend all my money on pumpkins and gourds.  I do think that I might will get a few more though. P>

Once in awhile I stand back and look at this and think, "okay is it pretty or is it just too much and messy"?? HA! I have not changed a thing though.

Pumpkins and hydrangeas...can't get much better than this for fall.

These are the last of my hydrangeas for this year.  I didn't leave very many on my bush. In fact it is almost bare!!

Fall color abounds!

Little orange boo pumpkins. Same photo as the first one only for the very first photo I sat on the porch floor to take the picture. So many different angles makes many different photos of the same thing.

I fell in love with this white and green gourd the other day at the local greenhouse. I pawed through the huge container to get just the right ones.

The name of this pumpkin is *goosebumps*...appropriately named I think!! $1.99 each so I picked up a few.


Love the little curly-q stem on the one gourd!

Don't look too close as I noticed my mirror needs washing badly! lol.
So there you have it...a lot of color from my home to yours! HAPPY FALL everyone!!


Please keep my niece Megan in your prayers. She is in the hospital with a kidney stone or multiple stones and is expecting their first little one in December.  Her mother (my sister) lives in PA and Megan lives in Alabama.  It is very hard for her at this time because of course she wants to be with her daughter. I won't go into all the details, but just please pray. I know what the poor girl is going through as I have had them a few times and believe me I would rather go through labor.
