Now that we are having cooler Autumn weather,
The swimmers have stopped playing and having fun in the water and
The swimmers have stopped playing and having fun in the water and
have been moved to THE GREENHOUSE.
Wondering about plants that might could survive our winters here outdoors,
we have to do some googling on that subject...
but to fill IN BETWEEN, .......
more PUMPKINS to the rescue.....
and...
when son, DAVID KEITH, had the new pool built last winter,
he also added a huge outdoor kitchen....
after all the pretty plants and seat cushions were removed
from the Outdoor Kitchen,
it looked SO bare...
kind of like when we take all our Christmas decorations down from inside
our homes....B.A.R.E.
(that's a big tv behind those pretty wooden doors)
so, I made a small arrangement to go in the corner...
all faux and it is only covered out there by a pergola,
so those faux flowers will get wet and probably fade !
Our autumn winds get pretty frisky sometimes so I
decided not to do a tall arrangement that could catch that wind...
and just might end up in the pool....
I'm sure more pumpkins will be added for Thanksgiving...
This view right outside my front door...

We are blessed you choose to share your beautiful home with us!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the pumpkins around the pool! It brings the best of both seasons together. So festive!
ReplyDeleteyou made it look so cute and appealing...it's your world...by all means decorate!
ReplyDeleteYes- You are blessed, bj. I love that pool and it must be fun to have it right outside your front door. It is wonderful that you and Bill were able to be there before he got ill. You have family there and that is a really good thing.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pumpkins on the rock wall! xo Diana
Pumpkins look good EVERYWHERE!
ReplyDeleteBJ, I like the arrangement you made. The pumpkin look cute around the pool. It sure is a beautiful place to have fun. Blessings , xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteBJ, I don't think I've ever seen a swimming pool decorated with pumpkins but it's a great idea! Love the look!
ReplyDeleteFall weather really hit us yesterday.
ReplyDeleteWeather, season changes, affecting us all . . .
ReplyDeleteHaving made a winter trip to Texas a few years back . .
I remember it much different than the snow and ice we were leaving.
This reminds me that you too, have “buttoning up” to do as the seasons change . . .
Sounds like there is always wind for you to contend with.
Such a lovely home you have bj . . .
Thank you for sharing this wonderful post with us. The pumpkins look great around the pool. Love the other decorations you did also. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to add some faux for color. Hoping you are getting some of the rain we've been getting in NE Texas.
ReplyDeleteOh that looks so beautiful and inviting! I like the way you added just a touch of Fall outside. I have no idea how to decorate so just putting a small pumpkin on the mantel is HUGE for me. :)
ReplyDeleteJust lovely BJ!
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
The pumpkins are perfect there. I love the outdoor kitchen area even bare!!
ReplyDeleteLisa
The rock mountain looks so cute with the pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, you are truly blessed.
How clever, just carry on. I love the fall colors and the pumpkins look right at home around the pool.
