Warm Welcome



Well....I tried for a warm welcome, anyway. I love all the colors of the mums and the different colors and textures of the pumpkins. Also, see the chair? I got it for $5 at a resale store. Dana sanded the chair, gave it a coat of primer, then he and I took turns giving the chair its coats of red paint. The only photo I have of the chair before the painting is this one:

It is really not a very good photo, but..... You can see how the chair sort of fades away in all of its light brown glory. As you can probably also figure, this is the day I bought the mums and many of them had not fully bloomed. I really enjoy getting blooms in all different times so color lasts all through the fall and into the Christmas month.

And, these pumpkins!!!! They are so perfect!

Greenish-Gray (or is it grayish-green?)

I love the bumpy melt-ish look on the bigger pumpkin, the paleness of the littlest one, and the star like points near the base of the green one.
Also....did you check out the twisty-curvaceousness of the stems? Fabulous! It amazes me how God puts beauty and enchantment in even the shape of a pumpkin stem!
He puts such care into the details of so many things....how much more care He must have for (and put into) each one of us!!?!!

Catching Gold

Autumn.


I love these days when the light seems so tangible and the plants borrow their gold and brightness and colors from the sun.
