Autumn Entryway

It is that time of year when the frost starts to set in.  Our begonias have been blighted by the cold, our potted plants put to rest.  In their absence, the entry to our house looked completely bare.  So, with fall on our minds and pumpkin carving in the near future, John and I set off to Home Depot to deck out our newly emptied steps.  Here are the before and after shots:
Our spring pots- they got to be VERY big and pretty. 
Definitely going to use lobelia and geraniums next year!
I'm excited to carve these pumpkins and maybe get some corn to hang on the door too.
The squirrels have already discovered our corn stalks.  We heard them thumping around on the front steps trying to get their paws on it and I managed to snap this picture:
Hello, new friend!
They've even started munching on our pumpkins... At least wait until we've carved them!

  1. It looks so festive and fall-ish! Sadly, we didn't get pumpkins this year, so carve one for me! :)

  3. The squirrels always eat mine!! For some reason I am really obsessed with with white pumpkins this year as well.... Maybe they won't eat those!
