Whimsical/fun. I love the fact you incorporated lights on the spiral topiaries. Lighting can make a huge impact in an entry display.

Your front porch looks so cute! I especially like your scarecrows.

peek-a-boo! that's what the little scarecrow to the left seems to be saying with part of him hiding. Cute, all of it.

Fall is my favorite time of the year. Of course, I probably say that about all seasons. Anyway, what you have done looks fabulous! Love the welcoming look that says "Happy Fall Y'all!" That's what we say in the South. Nice job.

I just loved your front porch display. I wasn't going to comment, only because everyone had covered it!

Then, I thought to myself, "Who doesn't love hearing sincere compliments ? "I wil come back later and post."

And then, Whammo! The night photo! You just outdid yourself! Such a welcome to your house!
Goooood job!

Beautiful! LOVE your wreath.


I don't mind coming to work. But that 8 hr. wait to go home is a drag.

Yes, Froo, you're absolutely right (chuckling).

I just love the night photo myself (it took me about 20 tries to get it just right). I appreciate all your compliments, and talkingrose, I appreciate you coming back to comment! (indycatCarol, I love your siggie line Wink)

ETA: In case anyone is paying very close attention and notices that the first pic is different, I changed the setting on my camera and got one I like better of the daytime version. (Photography is my second hobby, behind decorating, so I tend to tweak pictures as much as vignettes Wink)
