Celebrating Fall - Porch-style!!!

Although the temps here have jumped back up to scorching summer levels, I am still eagerly anticipating the arrival of Fall.  In fact, the Porch is now decked out for the upcoming season....



A quick trip to WalMart over the weekend yielded mums for the planter box and clay pots.  The buds are still a little tight, but with each passing day the colorful blooms peek out a tiny bit more.





 The Porch is small, so I am really trying hard not to overdo it.  But, I have to get some favorites out there - after all, they've been with me for several years now....






And there are a couple of new things that just begged to come home with me from the store this year....like the chimes and the scarecrow....


And this fun tin pumpkin on a stake....God bless Hobby Lobby and those 40%-50% off sales!



Hey, look at this old battered wreath that had somehow landed behind piles of "stuff" in the garage.  Gave it a good "blowing off" with the air compressor, fluffed the bow a bit, and now it says "WELCOME" at the side kitchen door....


I don't know why I get so excited about decorating for Fall.......I just do!  And here in a couple of weeks, when we hit October, I will layer in all the fun Halloween stuff that we have accumulated over the years.  So, it's a two-part event!

I am linking up with This Blessed Nest's "FALL FESTIVAL" today.  Just click HERE here to get tons of Autumn Inspiration!

Now, I'm off to rock on the Porch for a bit....

  5. Hi Jane! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and saying hi. You have a beautiful family!! Your porch is awesome! I love porches... my dirty little secret right now is that my porch is pretty pathetic looking compared to the inside of the house!! I guess that's my next project! Thanks for the inspiration!
