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 Yard and an Amazing Sunset, 2018

Welcome!!!

Today I will be sharing more of my outdoor Fall decorations in the front of our townhouse for this Season.......

In my last post, I shared how I decorated our Front Porch for Fall......
Click HERE if you missed that post......

In my last post, I left off here at the end of our front porch.......
 You can see the small flower bed that is under our Living Room window on the far right.....
Looking at our front porch and the small flower bed from our neighbor's yard.......
 In my last post, I decided to do something a bit different with the 2 urns on each side of the front porch......
That then left me to think of something else to do with this Autumn topiary that I made several years ago.....
 In 2015, I painted this tub and used it as part of my Fall display in this flower bed.....
This is how the flower bed looked last year......
 And this is what I came up with for this year......
 I also want to point out that we gave the shrubs in the flower bed a bit of a trimming because they really needed it after all the rain that we had this past Summer......
I think they look a lot better now......
Cutting back the shrubs made it possible for me to put the topiary in the center of the flower bed......
 You can see that I placed it in the tub that I painted.....

One of my Fall mini flags.......
I also added orange lights to the topiary but that will be for another post.....
2 Tri Colored mums bought at Wegman's sit in new pots that we bought a few weeks in Lowes on Clearance.......
This is what the pots look like.....
I added another strand of Fall garland to the topiary.....
I left all the solar lights out but will pack them away in November.....
The mums are just placed in these pots in the containers that they came in because I may plant them in the large urns on the side of the flower bed if frost kills the  New Guinea Impatiens that have  graced these urns all Summer.....

Another mini Fall flag......
Looking back at the front porch.....
And there are urns with the New Guinea Impatiens......
They still look great so for now, I am keeping them.....
It is hard to believe that they looked like this when first planted.......
I will keep them until they get hit with frost but from the looks of the forecast, that is not in the near future!!
This is my small front yard on top of the slope, looking at it from the front porch.......
Joe bought a Fall mailbox cover in Wegman's......
Cute, isn't it?
The rest of the front yard , again looking out from the front porch.....

I made a new bow for the lantern out of burlap looking deco mesh.....
I usually plant a mum in the large pot for Fall but again, the New Guinea impatiens that I planted here at the start of the Summer is still looking quite good......
I did plant a small yellow mum in the smaller pot......

My deer will remain out all Winter long along with this concrete statue of a little girl.......
Another Fall mini flag.......
The day I decorated the front porch and yard for Fall was a beautiful day and I was finally able to catch a spectacular Sunset from our porch........
Because of all the Heat , Humidity and Rain .......
We were not able to enjoy sitting out on our front porch this Summer......
So to be able to catch this amazing Sunset was a real treat!!!
The lights you see in the photos are from the Arena Hub Shopping Center  where some stores were devastated by a Tornado in June......
In my next post, I will be sharing my Autumn Tree in the Living Room and the "Pumpkin Patch" under neath it........
 So I hope you will be back to visit again soon.......

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