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!!!!

As you can see, I am starting my Fall Home Tour by showing you how I decorated our Front Porch for Fall  this year.....
I decorated the outside mostly for Fall because sadly, for 2 years in a row, we have not had any Trick or Treaters come around.......
Let's start on the left side of the porch..........

Remember that I live in a Townhouse......
If you missed my post on how I made my Autumn Topiary, please click HERE.....
There is a lantern with a flameless candle on a timer in the center of the topiary.....
Another lantern that was part of a set of 3, sits on this table with a pumpkin and a few gourds.......
An Autumn Harvest Sign......
A terra cotta Jack' O Lantern with another flameless candle on a timer in it is on top of the milk can.....
The Front Door.....
" Welcome to Our Porch"

To the left side of the door.....
A simple fall floral bouquet that I made and put in the "mail box"........
I will address the "Elephant in the Room" or should I stay on the porch.........

Yes, we have security cameras......

We have not had any problems but they do help in warding off problems just in case.....
A wreath that I made for the front door.....
The "weeping" mortar on the front of the house allows me to hang things on it........
This wreath once hung on my front door several years ago......
One of several Fall Flags that I have......
 On the porch......
 Another lantern.....
 Orange lights added to the Tree along with the white lights that are on it normally......
 A lantern and pumpkins on the table.......
 The begonias and the dusty millers are still doing well in the rectangular planters on each side of the flower bed under the Living Room window.........
 I will leave them there until they get hit by frost .......

 Looking out from the porch.....
 Fall garland on the railing....
I added new bows made out of burlap- like Deco Mesh and then wove what was left through the leaf garland.......
 I will show you what the porch looks like in the evening all lit up in a later post.........

 I planted mums that we bought at Wegmans  for only $6.99 each, in the pots in front of the railing......
  When we bought them, the buds were not opened and they are just starting to open up..........
 
  I placed a smaller terra cotta Jack' O Lantern in the Bird Bath..........
 There are orange lights also woven through the garland.........
So that is how I decorated our Front Porch for Fall.......
 In my next post, I will share how I decorated the front yard flower beds for Fall.....
 So I hope you will come back to visit when I share Part 2 of my Fall Home Tour 2015, Fall Decorations in the Front Yard.......

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