I deckorated a bit more lightly than in the past which is how I feel about this year! You can see my planters out front of the garage. I tied up my King Tut grass and surrounded the area with mini pumpkins plus a metal painted one.
Our ash tree is dropping leaves steadily. We've been getting rain on and off so much lately it's hard to find a sunlit picture! We've been having an arborist do injections on the tree to fight off the emerald ash borer and it's worked!
I caught an evening shot with some sun that I thought was pretty!
Anyway back to my "deckorating"! I found an assortment of pumpkins and gourds at a local farm and they were quite reasonable. I tried to pick out various colors and textures.
I nestled this bird on the bucket and mother nature accented it beautifully with leaves!
I layered three pumpkins with grape vine wreaths which I've saved to use over several years now.
I found that Farm Fresh Pumpkins bucket at Hobby Lobby a while back and the orange cauldron style pumpkin I got while visiting in Pennsylvania recently. Some geraniums still hanging on!
I created this wreath several years ago and decided to bring it out and hang it on the back of the house. This area stays pretty dry. I had found the fox at JoAnn's and attached it to the wreath, it was designed to be a door hanging by itself already. I just inserted a bunch of faux fall flowers as well as acorn and miniature gourds and pumpkins.
I'm having trouble with squirrels eating on the pumpkin with the nobby texture and my corn stalks (there aren't any corn husks). I just realized in this picture that they've toppled the corn stalks over. Anyway I think I'll try spraying the deer/rabbit away product on them and see if that helps.
Does anyone know how to do spellcheck with the new blogger format?
Anyway here is my Outdoor Fall Deckorating!
