Happy Fall From Around The House

 We had a few friends over for dinner on the porch 
to celebrate the first day of fall.


 While I was setting the table Julep was watching the
kids flying kites over the creek.
 Porch plants.
 This year we have a bumper crop of golden rod.


 Vanilla cupcakes for dessert.
 I spotted this big round tray at Home Goods on sale for
$20 - regular $50.  It works nicely on the coffee table.
 Another purchase from Home Goods.
Baked ziti - while not the best photo it was really
tasty.  We also had crab & corn chowder, focaccia bread,
puff pastry with artichokes,  mixed salad and meatballs.
While this sounds like a strange combination it all
worked perfectly.  There were several bottles of red
wine consumed during the course of the evening.
 Waiting.
 Fall decorations.
 The pumpkin people are ready for Halloween.
The front porch green pumpkin.


 From 3 simple seeds grew all this!
Fall mums I plants in the garden last year are
big, bushy and blooming.
