Back Door Guests are Best...soooo...

...won't you come in for a visit.

Well, this is my lil' country back porch. Now, it needs some more "fallness" but that is not gonna happen 'till after today because it is gonna be 98 degrees - uuugggghhhh. But here a few pictures to share with you of what we've done so far - remember - it is a simple country home - nothing fancy - jus' home.

Love my old orange plaid material - picked it up last year for .25 at the mission store.

My lil' boy (who just turned 8 last week - hard to believe) has been in awe of Indian corn this year. He has picked the kernels off many ears and put them into this jar. It tickled him when I said "let's use it to decorate the back porch". I love the subtle layers from the different ears.

Oh yes, and my "pumpkin in the pot". I just love to put pumpkins in containers for some reason.

My lil' corner cupboard...

I snatched this birdcage up at Peddlers - I love it - it is so big and perfect for a big pumpkin...

...my "basket" window box - I kept my ferns and just stuck some dried hydrangeas and some kind of orange reeds in there along with a big black wooden star...

...you can see the shop and one of the greenhouses in the background - I really do have a short "drive" to work - hehe

My "window" greenhouse filled with seasonal goodies...

...From the outside looking in...oops - I see my yellow broom...

Love my red window box filled with mums, ornamental cabbage, kale and ivy...

...on the table...

...a couple of painted topiaries on the outside closet - it holds lots of "farm clothes" - ya know, coveralls, muck boots, etc...

Right by the back door...

...hope you enjoyed your visit....

And actually - this porch and our home is gonna be up for "adoption" soon. We are changing things up a bit here - I'll keep ya posted. Don't worry - it is a good thing!

Have a beautiful "fall" day!
