Front Porch for Fall

I finally have the front porch put together.

It's a small little porch, and I've been warned  asked

not to cram too much out here.

That's a hard one...

It's Fall,

 and that means mums,

 pumpkins,

 and my black wagon.

...love my brick and stone cottage.

It's so hard to get a good pic of the door basket,

I continually have to "fluff" it, 

since shutting the door, jars it around a little.

I used a double ribbon;

an orange plaid and a burlap with glittery Fall Leaves.

can we say in unison...

"I LOVE Ribbon"?

I'm trying to be a little conservative here,

I don't want to tempt any of the local trick-or- treaters.

I  may have to scooch this around a little,

since potentially you could fall over this when leaving the house;

a new meaning to "Fall Front Porch".

I remember the first year I was blogging, 

I had a post entitled "Fall from my Window".

you can imagine that someone actually thought I fell out of my window.

I noticed yesterday that the UPS man didn't even attempt a door bell ring.

He threw the package toward the front of the porch and made a hasty retreat.

 I'm going light on pumpkins this year.

 Last year they somehow were stolen  disappeared 

the day before Halloween. hmmm...

so this year,

I opted for pumpkins that don't make a good jack-o-lantern.

How about you...

do your pumpkins ever magically disappear?

(i. hate. that.)
