Making an encore appearance (from when I recently shared the custom wreaths I've been making for others), here's
To add a splash of Fall to our fountain, I placed natural guords and pumpkins in it (can you say "paint me" please):
LOVE the different textures of the guords:
A Fall flag blows in the wind behind one of the beautiful Mums I picked up at Lowes:
Annnnnd, a few "faux" pumpkins rest on the mulch (which we desperately need to "top off"):
Well, folks, that's our humble entry ... here's to an easy cleanup and NOOOO scary lizards!
