Some Fall Decorating

Well, I got around and took some 

more pictures of my decorating,

outside.......My pumpkin had been

sitting in the living room and it was

bad!  I saw a nick on it, so I took it

outside on the porch and the stem

came off in my hand and the pumpkin

hit the cement a cracked open.  It was

moldy...So, I put a basket in it's place

and put some gourds and Indian corn

in it. I worked on the outside of the house,

scrubbing bricks, washing the windows,

and doing some general cleaning, before

I put the scarecrow, mums, gourds, etc,

out on the porch, on Friday. I don't really

like him sitting in front of the window, but

the porch only goes from a little past the 

window, on the right, to just past the door,

to the left...

It's a pretty small porch, but it will

all be protected, unless there is a lot 

of wind and rain. I got the little red

wagon at the flea market, a couple 

weeks ago and the plain wooden one,

last weekend, at a garage sale.

I found this cute sign at the flea market,

yesterday....Since I don't really decorate

for Halloween, I thought I would get this

cute sign and put up some spider web, with

spiders on it, this year.

This here is my wheelbarrow, that my FIL

made me, I just love it, but it fell apart, last

year and was out laying on the ground, by 

the shed, which didn't do it any good...We 

did some work on it, replaced the bottom 

and put the barn wood, back on, but it will

probably only last this year, then will have

to be replaced.  

It is getting about time to take in my 
asparagus ferns in for the winter,

I have the big one, you see in the back

ground, and two on the patio....I don't 

know where I am going to put them, 
since we moved the furniture around. 

Well, that is all for the outside, I will post

pictures of my decorating on the inside,

soon....I need to find places for the 

bittersweet and the other dried flowers,

that my MIL sent.  I enjoy seeing how 

you all have been decorating for Fall.

We took a drive a little North of here, today

and it looks like it might have been too dry

this year, for the trees to turn pretty. Some

of them have lost half of their leaves and 

others are brown.  We haven't had a frost, 

yet....Peek around here is about the first 

week in November. We shall see....That is

one thing I miss about living up North,

the changing of the trees. We planted some

Maple trees in our yard, in Texas....They

were beautiful, last year.....

I got a quilt rack, a corner shelf and a big 

crock, at the flea market, over the 

weekend, plus a chair today....I will show

you them, on another post.

Until next time~
