Happy Halloween!!

I thougt since it was into October now (well, just a bit!), I'd share some pictures of my little front porch all decorated for halloween! I like just a few pumpkin lights strung about, and of course, my big scary pumpkin on my vintage post. My Mom, who is recovering from a small stroke, put together a wreath for my front door, and just behind my white railing, I have a black bench with a potted mum on it.

I still like to sit out here since it's been so warm and just have a morning cup of coffee. It's a cozy little corner.


Well, I didn't realize how fuzzy my cornstalk picture turned out, but since it's dark now, it'll have to do! LOL! I always put cornstalks around my bell pole and gather pumpkins at the base. This year I wrapped some orange lights around it. Just a little bit more festive that way. The pumpkins are half real and half "Michael's" fake! Love those fake pumpkins.

I stuck this scarecrow in a white urn I just got on clearance from Michaels. His side kick, the black cat, and the scary halloween tree complete the picture in my dry sink. I took some fliers that came in the newspaper and put them through the shredder to make my "Spooky grass" for the tree and urn.




It's still warm here in Pennsylvania. The temps are above normal. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I will be happy when it cools off a bit! Happy Halloween everyone!

    I also love your lights, we string them also on our front porch with the carved pumpkins also. But their are several homes with purple and green lights and are a few steps above my not so scarry decor. Love them all.
    Your porch says "come on in and have some cider!" : )

  9. Kitty, I love the corn stalks with lights and the pumpkin displays. I think it would be suitable through the entire fall season. Please stop by my blog. I've got some great articles on there for you.

  10. kitty!
    Your grandson could start a journal now!!! His parents could right out the questions unless he already knows how to do that. Then they could take a certain night a week or every night and talk about it and get answers.
    Hugs,
    Mary
