Fall: Yellow House Exterior


We have no porch to speak of which is decidedly non southern so two mums, a real pumpkin, and my old concrete pumpkin is the extent of our fall decor for the exterior of the yellow house.  That thick grass is monkey grass (lilirope). We cut it annually in February.


Mr. Smirk, the old concrete pumpkin will make an appearance, every fall,
 as long as we can lift him. 
He is solid and heavy.



Someone wanted to help her mama. 
Outside, outside she's yelling. 
Loudly.

Happy Saturday
Olive

  20. Your yellow house is so pretty - compliments the pumpkins beautifully. Autumn is very slow to arrive here - the flowers are still out and the leaves have yet to change from green.

  28. Hi Olive. I just love, love your yellow house. It is really beautiful. I also love that old pumpkin that comes out every year. Reading all my American friend's blogs, it really makes me want to do some pumpkin decorating of my very own. It's not really something that we do too much of over here :( Love the photo of Clovis - little rascal!

  29. Oh, I love that cement pumpkin! I really don't think they can kick you out of the south if you don't have a full front porch, but if they do, you are always welcome up here!
