I’m keeping autumn
decorations to a minimum around here. It’s
all about making it easy! I took these
photos over four weeks ago, and I’m finally getting around to posting
them. I figured I better get moving on
the task before there is a snowfall, haha.
We’ve had the beautiful swag for a couple of years It gives a rich pop of color above the front door.
Our decorations were literally plopped together in a few minutes.
I won the white pumpkin in a bloggy giveaway a few years ago. I think the leaves were included too, but my
memory has gotten foggy on that detail.
The hobnail glass jar originally held a bouquet of sunflowers I bought for Mr. Jim during his June hospital
stay. The dried wheat was purchased at
Publix.
We get to enjoy the
decorations when we head out to sit in our rocking chairs.
We’ve been spending
a lot of quality time in the chairs this year, watching the weather and
keeping track of activity along our street.
The hummingbird feeder (shown hanging on the window) is now stored away
in the garage. But the geraniums on the
little table are still blooming up a storm, despite some cooler temperatures in
recent weeks.
Come on by for a visit, and I'll fix you a cup of hot tea or chocolate!
love the grasses. and love your rockers!
ReplyDeleteI'll be there in just a few minutes! Your front door looks so inviting. Every porch needs rocking chairs. Love the color and the warm cozy feeling of your porch.
ReplyDeleteMake room for me too, Donna! Your porch and the lovely decorations look so warm and inviting! I really like that teal color...it goes so well the autumn oranges! Just lovely, friend :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, I love everything. I'd love to come by and sit on your
ReplyDeleteporch; watch for me. :)
Love to both.

Your front porch looks inviting and I like the colour of the stool - looks like the mat matches too. I would love to join you for tea and sit in the rockers that look pretty comfy. I'll bake something to bring! :-)
ReplyDeletehow very pleasant.
ReplyDeleteI'll have whatever you're serving. 😊 What a pleasant spot you've created. I am always charmed by your home and the beautiful wood of your front door is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI do like that swag above your door, very eye catching, also the furniture makes your porch very inviting.

Ohhhooo, hot chocolate sounds good. I love the little stool, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI love the big pumpkin that Mr. Jim picked out! The colors of Fall sure look pretty on your porch! I'd love a cup of tea. It's cool here in the evenings now, too! Sweet hugs to you both, Diane
ReplyDeleteIt looks so nice. Love the rockers.
ReplyDeleteYour front porch is charming with its seasonal decor. I'd love to sit there with you and sip a cup of tea (or chocolate).
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your autumn touches are just right to me! I totally love the swag...and I am crazy about porch rockers. I can imagine you and Mr. Jim soaking up some autumn beauty on your lovely porch!
ReplyDeleteEverything you do is simply beautiful, Donna. Your home is such a peaceful retreat!
ReplyDeleteOK I'll be there in about 8 hours or so! It all looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour minimalistic approach to fall decorating makes a big statement in my book. It looks lovely. I really like the way you used the stool and I have one that I picked up at a yard sale and have been wondering what to do with it. Now you've given me a great idea.
ReplyDeleteMy fall decorations this year consist of a wreath on my front door and a couple silk arrangements on my dining room table
I love the warm, inviting feel of your porch. It is totally charming.
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks wonderful. My poor porch is quite bare - I haven't had a chance to do much Fall decorating inside my home and my tiny porch has no sign of Fall. Tea or chocolate? What a hard choice. I think I'll join you for chocolate this time, dear friend.
