I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

Fall Front Porch, 2026

Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!

I am so happy you decided to stop by!!

Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....

I feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I was....

I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....

As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

And now for a few Personal Notes...

For the New Year, I am trying something different with my 3 times weekly posts....

On THURSDAYS, I will feature what I cooked and ate during the week, showcasing local cuisine and a few recipes for things that I actually made...

I decided that on SATURDAYS, I will showcase What I Have Been Up To in the past week, sharing events and places I went to, if any....

On MONDAYS, I will be featuring What I Have Bought or Been Gifted Recently, if anything...

Today, on SATURDAY, my son Joey and I attended the annual Fall Fest at my church!!

It is a parish event where the proceeds help to fund the Service group Friends in Faith Program ,which helps local middle aged school children with their personal and essential needs....

The Menu was pork sandwiches with homemade BBQ sauce, hot dogs with chili sauce, cheeseburgers, fries, cole slaw, Auntie Anne's pretzels, apple cider and apple cider doughnuts, which I forgot to take a picture of....

There were games for the children...

Over the last few days, I packed away all my Summer outside front porch and yard decor, along with the Patriotic decor from Labor Day, took it all down my storage shed, cleaned the porch and then decorated the porch and yard for Fall......

Today, I am sharing my Fall Front Porch for this year.....

The last 2 days were cool, in the mid 70's, and with low humidity......

Perfect for decorating outside...

I am running a bit late this year with my Fall decorating because of Labor Day being so late.....

I keep out the Welcome Porch sign that my great niece Caitlin created for me year round.....

A yard stake in the top of this topiary, which you will see soon, on both sides....

I left out the Summer faux flowers in the pots on the front porch....

I added a pumpkin stake to this pot....

I placed a topiary I made many years ago out of a tomato cage in this black urn....

Another yard stake and bow on top and a Fall sign hung in the front.....

I tied an orange bow on the clay pot lighthouse I made.....

This year, I moved this Jack O Lantern to the top of the red milk can....

I left up the evergreen garland as a base and added my Fall leaf garland to it....

I added a recent Dollar Tree buy to the top of the doorway on the garland....

This year, I added some Fall leaf picks, that I had in my stash, to this wreath....

I hung a metal bottle cap style plaque in the center....

And hung this sign from the bottom of the wreath....

I hung Fall signs off the weeping mortar.....

A Fall bow, that I made from 3 different ribbons, off the porch light....

Kept the sign that my great niece made to match the porch sign out....

And hung a scare crow sign under it and added some sunflowers and a scare crow yard stake to the pot of faux flowers that I moved onto the table....

Some faux gourdes and a terra cotta Jack O Lantern....

I changed out the Summer chair cushions and pillows for Fall ones....

In the corner.....

I added a Fall shovel to the tree in the corner.....

Along with a bow, a Fall leaf garland and a Dollar Tree sign.....

I added a burlap bow to the post and some wooden leaves....

I changed out the mailbox cover for a scarecrow one....

In the other corner is a sign I bought many years ago....

Another terra cotta Jack O Lantern on the table with more faux gourdes and a pumpkin....

I added Fall leaf garland to the evergreen garland....

Deco mesh bows on each end of the railing and in the middle.....

I left the planter of faux flowers where it was and added 2 corn stakes to it....

Hung another Dollar Tree sign above it and added 2 faux pumpkins on each side of it....

I gave this Welcome sign a fresh coat of black paint as it was faded.....

On the side of the porch.....

The other side of the mailbox cover.....

Look at how well the coleus are doing.....

And that is where I will leave off for today.....

My little next door neighbors were admiring my handiwork and wanted to sit on the porch....

Anaya and Usef....

Aren't they sweet??/

I hope you will stop by to visit again on MONDAY for my next post!!

Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!

And try to find JOY in every single day!

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
