So many good friends 'visited' the porch today there wasn't space enough to have you all stay for a nice cup of English tea! So, guess what, you're invited back tomorrow, or any day convenient to you. The kettle will be on and I've made another loaf of pumpkin bread. It promises to be another beautiful sunny day - teatime is 4:00 PM - see you then.
Replaced the seashells in the iron urn with Autumn gourds. You can just see a few bright red hummingbird vine flowers in the background. This delicate vine, along with the morning glories and jasmine, has 'curtained' the end of the porch this Summer - green protection from the afternoon sun.
Cobalt blue and pumpkin orange, quite lovely together.
Knew I'd find a use for this little kiddie chair - we can of course remove the pumpkin if you want to sit here with your cup of tea. My lovely flowers from Deborah are so perfect at the front door - such a thoughtful gift which I'm enjoying each day.

You have an excellent sense of composition and design. Thanks for the Camus quote. I copied it to use later.
ReplyDeleteHappy Autumn to you,

I do love what you now have done with the mums and pumpkin. It looks perfect with the child's chair! Just the right touch and added some height. Plus the addition of a few more gourds. Don't you love how cheerful pumpkins and gourds are! They are just as delightful to see in autumn as the flowers in spring and summer.
