Scene at the Back Door


Good morning!
As you might remember,
my front door faces 
away from the street.

The farm was here long before 
they developed the neighborhood 
and somehow they added a street 
on the backside of the stables/barn  
instead of the front.

You can see the side porch in the background in this photo.



This is the side entry
that we use on a regular
basis to get to and from 
the driveway and garages.














It's all ready for fall.
Are you?










Hallie watches over the yard from her plaid perch.  :)

  1. Love the urn, I just got a new pretty one, it is purple right now, I have to paint it white, I am going to put a real tree in it for Christmas and put by my front door. I am excited. I was hoping to see the house you decorated, but glad to see your house. Richard from my Old Historic House.

  6. Alison,
    It is lovely! So warm and inviting!
    I apoligize for being so out of touch. Between Home School, end of season gardening and life in general, I am left with little computer time! I miss you!

  24. The colorful plaid throw and humongous mum caught my eye immediately! The more subtle autumn colors bring just the right tones to welcome all to your "back door"...

    Saw the exterior of the house you're decorating in the previous post. I. Can't. Wait!
