Gold and Pastels for my Fall Mantle on the Porch




Morning coffee on the porch.......watching the sun come up........does it get any better!


I love to take photo's early in the morning,   so you better sit down with a big cup of coffee and get ready for a LOT of photo's!


I decorated the mantle on the front porch with pastels and  touches of gold.


The plants on the porch have really thrived over the summer......I will really miss them when we get our first fall frost.


The chandelier over the farm table has a warm gold glow as the sun hits it early this morning.


The crystals on the chandelier are sparkling as the sun hits them. 

    If you look close,   you can see the flag in our front yard..... there isn't  a breeze to ruffle it this morning.


Can you see the flag now?


It's about 65 degree's out here this morning,   but it will be in the 80's later today.


I added a gold pear to the vignettes on each side of the mantle........


I think the white mum's are almost done blooming,    I don't see any more buds forming on them.


I love how the sun is dancing on the plants around the yard........


I have a bicycle on each side of the fireplace.


Both of  the bicycles have pots of Coleus in them.


Look at the morning sun shining on this basket.......gorgeous!


I filled the baskets on the back of the bicycle with gold apples.


You can see the roof of the She Shed if you look under the chandelier and to the right just a little.


The pot of Coleus in the other bicycle is just as big as the one you just saw.


I plan to fill the basket on the front of my three wheeler with moss and gold fruit later today.


I also will put the fall wreath on the front door today........


And if I have time,    I will create a gold and pastel design in the chicken feeder on the table.      OR......maybe H and me will just sit on the porch all day!
