Fall Front Yard


We had to put the final touches on the front yard for the wedding reception on Saturday because it is supposed to rain the next few days......

     ........  but the weather looks good for Saturday  (big smiley face) 
We packed up the two wicker settee's for the winter that are usually on each side of the chandy's.    H replaced them with some hay bales that he got at the farm store.

The pink geraniums that were in this wrought iron planter were replaced with mums.

I dressed my scare crow in her new square dance cancan.....a yard sale buy ($5)  and got out her square dance boots.    I think this may be her last year,  she is about 7 years old and is starting to look pretty bad...lol!

H got out his old rusted car and I filled it with sweet potato vine.

I dressed my garden girl in her fall attire and filled the pony buggy with pumpkins,  mums,  and gourds.    Even the little trailer got a pumpkin by the front door.
  
Here's how the chandy's look all lit up 
  
I think I should tie an orange plaid bow around the neck of my geese,  don't you?

The planter on the other side of the porch was filled with matching mums....

Here is how our front yard looks and I wanted to share a few yards in our area that look so cute all decorated for fall.....

Our neighbor across the street and down a few houses has her yard decorated for fall   (our house is where the first white car is) 

I love her fall vignette and she has a spot light on it in the evening and if you look real close,  you can see the orange lights behind her vignette.


This house is behind us two streets and down a little......

I saw it when we were yard-saling Saturday and couldn't resist taking a quick photo.

This house also caught my eye Saturday.....love the giraffe!

Our dishwasher died on Saturday and hopefully the new one will be installed by Saturday......the sewer backed up into the shower this morning and we had to call the plumber out.     H was a sweetheart and cleaned the shower top to bottom.

No problem....everything will work out....God is Good!

  4. Wow you've done a fantastic job with your fall transformation! Love the pics of your neighbors fall decorating too! I lost my dishwasher earlier this year and had to replace it. I was ready for it after hand washing everything for almost two weeks. Glad for you that the plumbing was fixed- thank goodness that didn't happen the day of the wedding! Best wishes for a fabulous wedding day at your home!

  8. my favorite saying for weddings (I used to do flowers for weddings), "If this is the worst thing that happens, we are good...!" And honestly I said it at every wedding to a Mom or Bride. Think---poison exotic frog in a calla lily bouquet...LOL. Only time I have ever killed and 'endangered species'.

    Have a wonderful day it all looks gorgeous and what a nice neighborhood to live in.

  16. Everything looks perfect for a fall wedding Penny! So glad that it's going to be nice weather. I love the scare lady and the wagon filled with the bumpy pumpkins and gourds. It's fun when neighbors join in the decorating fun. I always love driving around and see what others in our little town have done. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
