My porch is very small, and I don't have a lot to work with
as far as 'decor' goes, so I use what I have and
what I find in the garden, barn and woodland.
Below is the garden 'Welcome' sign that I made
this Spring. I placed it on the bench and
added a branch of wild rose hips.
A homemade grapevine wreath is also adorned with
wild rose hips.
A vintage milk can from my Grandpa's farm is topped
with a yellow garden mum and Cinderella Pumpkins
(Rouge Vif D'Etampes), Carnival and Sweet Meat
Squash harvested from the garden find a place
to greet guests, too!
An old, brilliantly colored wool blanket is draped
across the bench ~ the cats love to scout for farmyard
activity from here while staying out of the weather.
Another pumpkin temporarily holds the place where a burlap
pillow in the making will sit.
An apple basket filled with more squash (and a wayward tomato ~
how'd that get in there?) and a vintage cream can are
next to the bench and an old twig broom with a few sparse
leaves, grasses and pods hangs above.
It's a shock of color but company has no trouble finding the front door!
That's my porch for today ~ it will change as my mood
changes, just like our weather!

Looks great,
really really nice.
I like it. To me, small is better--in many ways not nearly so difficult to "fill". Yours is beautiful.

That's pretty.
Looks inviting.
I agree with all the ladies that have already commented above. Your porch looks lovely, and oh, so inviting. Great job.
It's a lovely porch!
Your autumn decor is so pretty and inviting.
Raeann,
Your porch is lovely. It looks so cozy and inviting. I've a question for you. Do you have trouble with squirrels taking bites out of your squash and pumpkins? I usually do. So far this year we've dodged that bullet.

Thank you for your sweet comment on my autumn porch.
To answer your question ~ No, I don't have trouble with squirrels taking bites out of my squash. My cats keep the squirrels up in the trees out in the woods. I rarely see a squirrel anymore. Only an occasional furry little tail left as a gift from said cats!
I took these porch photos soon after I placed the squash there. What you don't see is, the next day my naughty chickens, whom I let roam about the farm during the daytime, discovered the pumpkin on the lower left side of the photo. They did a fine job of pumpkin carving for me. I shant have to try my hand at it! :>)
Dear Lady Farmer,
I love your shock of color! You have done Autumn well.
Love,
Marqueta
p.s. I still haven't copied your welcome sign; maybe a project for this weekend?
