Fall Front Porch and Patio

There is a new linky party tomorrow with Porches Decorated for Fall so I thought I would share mine! We have a teeny, tiny entrance but I try to make the most of it. But then we built the patio last year and that is where the FUN happens:):) I am sharing both with you and will share some more tomorrow!! So, please come back!!! I love to make my home feel warm, cozy and inviting all the time but when Fall arrives it takes on new meaning. Ther change of the season makes me want to invite everyone to come share all this beauty!!! I bought this urn, new this year, and filled it with a caladium, some coleus and impatiens for the Summer. The caladium and coleus are still beautiful so I just added a gourd and a cabbage, which is FAUX!! The pumpkin is faux as well. This area gets NO sun so I don't put alot of real things here. The green plant is one of my houseplants that has lived out here all summer.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0nuCTpFjnVYJGzgIIihRI7Oc5Wn1zS1oJbMamoWedI_IJVIiVcnxG343NYrxbEoe_aWy_Sfyh0yosNWXw694G7rgnV4Qm-FTvHZEYdBRbFPlGek7W1AZYNPpmRddVu9wj7JV2seKbi-qg/s1600/IMG_1887_2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0nuCTpFjnVYJGzgIIihRI7Oc5Wn1zS1oJbMamoWedI_IJVIiVcnxG343NYrxbEoe_aWy_Sfyh0yosNWXw694G7rgnV4Qm-FTvHZEYdBRbFPlGek7W1AZYNPpmRddVu9wj7JV2seKbi-qg/s1600/IMG_1887_2.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> One of my mums, they are all blooming and may have to be replaced cause some are getting ragged:(<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCA7m-r58APECEuC_7Rzhp725-yOfPLChmVEKkeGGeEhBK0Mp3XabMTOUbT4stT1VQHBlAj6bnvZ-A8XZ_2hESVkabBS0msInqs6Gn2sWYI8EBtD9Ip7DU4rMBa0r7HtdKAgC9ogvk8fgX/s1600/IMG_1886_2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCA7m-r58APECEuC_7Rzhp725-yOfPLChmVEKkeGGeEhBK0Mp3XabMTOUbT4stT1VQHBlAj6bnvZ-A8XZ_2hESVkabBS0msInqs6Gn2sWYI8EBtD9Ip7DU4rMBa0r7HtdKAgC9ogvk8fgX/s1600/IMG_1886_2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This year I put 2 of my black lanterns out here with LED candles in one of them and filled the other with Fall goodies. .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi69x58MPnjufqPAqly6o6PP4VB4FUjPBhWx7qQdYLh3v7wcErJ8NPwPYYAw5ECqrFBZ8TA8PuinHXwP_ORnr8a0Qqimtqz2WwIQ0a7Le_EHdPcMp2_a-qAAIAdqcZ46Y2Kn8KMvPJY0EYi/s1600/IMG_1891.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi69x58MPnjufqPAqly6o6PP4VB4FUjPBhWx7qQdYLh3v7wcErJ8NPwPYYAw5ECqrFBZ8TA8PuinHXwP_ORnr8a0Qqimtqz2WwIQ0a7Le_EHdPcMp2_a-qAAIAdqcZ46Y2Kn8KMvPJY0EYi/s1600/IMG_1891.JPG" width="426" /></a></div> Some of these mums are real and some faux, can you tell the difference?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2HurQ3kVbvxNvHDAcfxYMY6ke0oUtdC0gSL4ix1NZNVTX3P_AS0Wx4RMU00g_HtSrbgdVHBKM0t8XK_U4nXZkWbmC81m3B2R0kWRj4wyGryrq8XU1XOe1_QtPvPxEPh9a5o-9EWHhVDla/s1600/IMG_1892.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2HurQ3kVbvxNvHDAcfxYMY6ke0oUtdC0gSL4ix1NZNVTX3P_AS0Wx4RMU00g_HtSrbgdVHBKM0t8XK_U4nXZkWbmC81m3B2R0kWRj4wyGryrq8XU1XOe1_QtPvPxEPh9a5o-9EWHhVDla/s1600/IMG_1892.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I still like my pumpkin patch fence that I got at a craft fair many years ago.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirhrZNCAXD5THHuh6Ityy9nI3nG6-LA1L6UIvCUMdqCBNIKvit6JNG88vbWzrcC3ICkjk8Mji3rV_r8H_t2win-NkfIfbmFVcgiMUQWFNtvMoNGQEONJd18UtOV3AbAh4OfGZ1Q_sVzZS5/s1600/IMG_1893.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirhrZNCAXD5THHuh6Ityy9nI3nG6-LA1L6UIvCUMdqCBNIKvit6JNG88vbWzrcC3ICkjk8Mji3rV_r8H_t2win-NkfIfbmFVcgiMUQWFNtvMoNGQEONJd18UtOV3AbAh4OfGZ1Q_sVzZS5/s1600/IMG_1893.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I stacked 2 hay bales and placed some more pumpkins on them, along with a pot of this pretty flower whose name escapes me right now!

I am wishing you all a happy 4th and want to THANK all of our veterans and soldiers currently serving for preserving all the wonderful freedoms we enjoy. Since we don't have a deck yet:( I decided to revisit my table (one of several) from last year to help celebrate and show off our patriotism!!! I am so blessed to live in this country.  This table is FULL of patriotic love! The centerpiece is a vase of BLUE hydrangeas from my yard. I have been going over tyhere and cutting them, there are 10 bushes of them at the old house!!!! The white lanterns are very versatile. I placed a red votive in them for the 4th.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztZAK83C_Vz3ypyi6BlBi7la0D-3fJbV-GqKnQqtdfeMjZN773s_VPcghHJrZ3fi2jARazKwEoUaWn7IftYOazqQ_RD_kKV0a7j280YTdUAPgI98NtbVERocddP3m1xQbkxT8J9t6P-Iw/s1600/IMG_7781.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztZAK83C_Vz3ypyi6BlBi7la0D-3fJbV-GqKnQqtdfeMjZN773s_VPcghHJrZ3fi2jARazKwEoUaWn7IftYOazqQ_RD_kKV0a7j280YTdUAPgI98NtbVERocddP3m1xQbkxT8J9t6P-Iw/s640/IMG_7781.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgld8k_nQ0JihBuszs7bGkcy-QCGegOIrK2Yw5KM1uuoCLAA-LZshP1_6sKx3vbRjOdaGrhkk_n6_nT4dmkwCAkSQU6S6idg4H2fo0ymdLiBMveXA13m4RCrRmMxGooJdOa6vmoZuzFaZk5/s1600/IMG_7782.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgld8k_nQ0JihBuszs7bGkcy-QCGegOIrK2Yw5KM1uuoCLAA-LZshP1_6sKx3vbRjOdaGrhkk_n6_nT4dmkwCAkSQU6S6idg4H2fo0ymdLiBMveXA13m4RCrRmMxGooJdOa6vmoZuzFaZk5/s640/IMG_7782.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The glasses are plastic but perfect for outdoor dining.
