Fall on the Patio and Around the Pond

Even though we are still having temps in the 80's and the humidity has been awful too, it is Fall out on the patio. I thought I would show you around because I may change it up when the weather gets a little cooler and we can use the fire pit!!! I will change out the pillows and bring out some throws etc. But for now here it is:) As you walk out to the deck, the table is right there. Last weekend we had Colleen for the weekend and one of the things we did was, she helped "Tata" carve a pumpkin.
 This is a great space to sit and read in the afternoon.
 The seat is a glider, which I love.
 The leaf pillows came from Kirklands a few years ago.

 I don't remember where this pillow came from.
 This was from Christmas Tree Shops several years ago.
 I love this guy from Lowes 3 years ago.

 On the steps are 3 solar lanterns that I put mini pumpkins next to. Then I got $1.00 mums from Lowes for the pots.

 Some of the mums have been replaced since I took these shots as they were looking very tired. I think it is too hot for them!



 Let's look around the pond.

 The lavender is growing great this year!

 The water lilies are still blooming and Joe is thrilled since he repotted them about a month ago!


 Marigolds line the stone wall.

More marigolds on this side too.

 Water lilies in Oct!!
 The fish like to play in the waterfall.

 This mum has come back every year since we planted it 4 years ago!

I LOVE the color!

Fall Tour Begins at the Front Door!

Good morning friends! I had a hard time last night getting this post up but have been wanting to start showing you my Fall decorations! I LOVE fall and thought I would do a tour so we are starting at the front door! Here is what you see as you approach the house.
 Next to the driveway I placed a mum and our initial pumpkin.
 Then a welcome flag to all our quests!
 Coming up the sidewalk is a large pumpkin in a spider legs stand, another mum and another orange plant that I forget the name of:)

 Going up the stairs. Today a guy is coming to give us an estimate to repair the crack along the sidewalk. There is a new product that they drill a hole and then shoot a material under the concrete to raise the concrete and then fill the crack once it is level. Much less expensive than doing a whole new sidewalk.


The pumpkin mat sits on the everyday mat.

 My wreath that I made several years ago. I have all the materials to make a new one, I just haven't gotten to that yet!
 Since I have the lantern on a timer I decided to add some votive holders on the steps.
 The little tiger stripe pumpkins are real.



 I added a faux cabbage to the real impatiens in the blue pot. And the tiger stripe pumpkin is real and sits next to a faux pumpkin.

 It was almost dusk when I took these shots.

 Each votive has a different glass leaf.

 I love this set. I got them at CTS several years ago and they were only $1.00 for a set of 4!!!!
 I added a bow and a berry ring to the lantern. I like to embellish lanterns.
 All of the real pumpkins I have bought are out back on the patio. I am planning to go back to my favorite Amish farm soon to get some more and I will show you the patio soon. Don't feel bad about mixing real and faux:)
 I was going to share the foyer but the post got too long so we will continue inside.
 
Thanks for your visit!
