Front Porch Appeal - Porch News and Ideas for Porch LoversIssue #38 September 2012September is when many of us wish to nest again. Back from summer vacations, children back to school and a nip in the evening air, we want to settle in again.Autumn is one of our favorite seasons, too. How about you? We absolutely love the feeling in the air - crisp leaves, pumpkins and corn stalks aplenty. It is time to think about autumn porch decorations. 
Dave and I are currently residing in a small apartment until we can find the home we want, but happily, we have a lovely little porch to enjoy. We hope that you, too, have a nice outdoor living space to enjoy. We will be decorating it for autumn this coming week. The garden stores here in Middle TN are just beginning to put out their autumn harvests. So stay tuned for our autumn porch transformation!

It sits on our little pond in one of my garden areas. I so enjoy sitting out on it & enjoying nature around us."

Side viewDean continues: "It is a 'stand alone porch' and it sits by a little pond in one of my garden areas. I've always wanted a log cabin and pond - this is probably the closest I will ever get.I guess you can say I designed it; it was my idea that I explained to our neighbor, who is a "hobby" carpenter. He built it for me in May of this year. I attached an old door and a screen door to the side to add interest to it. The back is just straight wood, with 2 4x4 wood braces cemented in the ground to help keep it standing." Return to Table of ContentsFrom the Porch Steps
Scarecrows and pumpkins.
Next weekend, the two of us are going to a local garden store to build a scarecrow. We will meet our son and his family there. They will build one as well. We supply the overalls and flannel shirt. The garden store supplies a straw hat, the frame and the stuffing. So we visited our local Goodwill store this week and picked up our supplies. 
Dave picked out overalls for our first scarecrow
I picked out some apparel for a "kid" scarecrowStay tuned for the rest of the scarecrow-making story.
