A Fall Welcome to my Home.

Good morning!!! I have been away last week with my GREAT girlfriends to the beach. This is our annual Fall beach trip that we have done for over 40 years now!!!! We were all former neighbors, raised our kids in the development and started this trip when the kids started school. Those kids are all now married and have kids of their own! Time sure flies.
But I took some shots of my front "porch", before I left to share with you but never got to it while I was away. So....WELCOME!!!!

 Pumpkins, mums, impatiens, etc. all welcome you!

 I FINALLY got my initial pumpkin at Kirklands this year. I have been wanting one for several years but they never had an "S" when I looked.

 I layered a green and white checked rug with a new welcome mat I got this year.  I have the matching flag but didn't get pictures of the yard yet.

 I decorated my lantern with berries, flowers and a big bow and added a candle ring inside.

 The urn still has the orange begonia in it so I added the pumpkin picks, a small pumpkin and some fall leaves.

 My Fall wreath stayed the same, just haven't had time to make a new one (although I did make 2 new ones for the doors at the clubhouse).

Thanks for your visit! I will be sharing all of my Fall decor now. I have been decorated for quite awhile but BUSY!!  Hope you all are having a great Fall and that the weather is finally cooling off some. I LOVE FALL!!!!!

Welcoming Spring!

Mother Nature gave us a beautiful 2 days on Friday and Sat. It was in the low 80's!!!! I was in Heaven. But it was just a big tease! However on those 2 days I worked my butt off and got a lot done outside. One of the things I did was refresh the front porch. I thought I would share that with you today. I made a new arrangement in my urn by the door, removing all the Easter flowers. I can't plant real flowers yet so wanted something here to look nice til I can plant real.

 I had all these flowers in my stash so didn't have to buy anything.

 My large, HEAVY bunny from Lowes sits next to the urn. I also planted some faux impatiens in a creamy planter
 I changed out the lantern too adding a candle and some faux flowers. A real pink pansy in a pink pot sits in front of the lantern then more pansies in my other bunny planter.

 I showed you before that I am layering 2 mats out here and am loving the look.

 I am working on making a new Spring wreath so that will be up soon.

 This twiggy bench is usually on the back patio but Santa sat on it this Christmas so I put an azalea that I could not resist. The colors are so pretty!

 Joe put new "flame" bulbs in the lights on the garage. You can't tell in the picture but they look like a gas lantern flickering! I love them!

Thanks for coming!
