It's so hard to get into the Halloween Spirit, I think it was in the high 80's today. Fall is my favorite time of year. It is about this time that we have our fire pit working overtime and those sweatshirts are getting a work out. So I have had to force myself in the mood during my favorite time of year. I finished my hat for the Speckled Egg party hat halloween swap and that got me in the mood, so I decorated my front porch for the season. Have a great fall weekend, no matter what weather comes your way! Bristol
I know what you mean. We have been in the 80's , too. That's just not right........I want to light my wood stove....pout, pout......
I love the birdhouse on your bench....very nice ;-)

Hi Bristol,
This weather is crazy, isn't it.
I want to cozy up my home for fall, but can't get into it yet.
Maybe next week. LOL
Have a great weekend!
Kimberly :)

We've been having a heat wave here too. Today was the first cool day in two weeks and I'm soaking all of the fall juice out of it that I can! It's going to be back in the 80s to 90s by the end of the weekend :( I love that hat that you made.

Hi Bristol, the weather is crazy, isn't it? I had an indoor-tailgate in the basement - birthday party for my daughter on the 5th She is turning 20 on Sunday. She wanted chili, grilled hot dogs, hot mulled cider, Fritos, etc. We had the party, but it was anything but fall like. Oh well, I guess we can't plan for the weather. We had everything all decorated for fall harvest, but it felt like Summer Heat wave instead.
Blessings!!

Your boo hat is just adorable!
I love your beautiful wicker chairs on your porch.. Makes me want to come sit awhile and chat.

Thank you so much for visiting and leaving me such a sweet comment.
I know exactly what you mean. Today's high is supposed to be 87. What is that?? I'm ready for crisp weather. But I already know what will happen. We'll go from summer right into winter.
Your porch looks so cozy. Reminds me a little of my porch which I posted about a few days,week or so ago. I'm trying to be all "fall" like - but Mother Nature has other plans.
Come back again and I love the transferware header you have!
Love,
Julie

Bristol I love what youve done with the place!! Your front porch looks AWESOME. I adore those little topiary pots. Did you make them? Your name is also very cool. How did your mom come to that?
I am glad I found you-

I love your porch and the bench is too cute with the little houses on it. Your little boy is precious, even with the tatoo on his arm. :) xo, Becky

What a wonderful hat!
I love fall, so I know how much you're looking forward to its cooler, crisp days. Hopefully the weather will be more normal soon.
All of your decorating looks so nice! Inside and out.
I've enjoyed my visit here very much. Thank you, and thanks too, for your nice comment in Merryville!

Love your porch decorations! It reminds me of the village where I lived & went trick or treating when I was little.

Love your hat! It's so cute! Don't you just love pumpkins? I just want to hug 'em. But I know what you mean about it being hot. It's hot hot hot here today. It makes me sluggish and not in the mood to do anything. ~ Lynn

Thanks for visiting my blog. We're all in a heatwave in the Greater Ohio Valley...it's too hot to do anything creative outside, so I've been spending time reading blogs...I enjoyed yours! Very cute hat.

Everything looks lovely.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog and introducing me to yours! I knew as soon as I saw the red toile in your banner that I was going to like it and I do!! Your porch looks fabulous! I know what you mean about the weather though ... it's so hot and humid here today ~ more like August than October! ~ Lynda

I know - isn't this weather nuts! I don't know what to wear anymore! The forecast for CT is a bit cooler this week but as of right now it is still pretty warm. I love your hat! Such a fun design. Your porch looks great as well.
