Pumpkin Picking 2013 and Our Fall Front Porch

 Saturday was one of my favorite days of the year ! Pumpkin Picking Day ! We pick pumpkins at the same farm we pick strawberries from .

 Saturday was their first day open for the season so we had to be there when they opened !

We got lots of white , blue and pink pumpkins... and of course the usual orange ones! Tons of gourds, and lots of dirt and sweat :) We had 3 generations of pumpkin pickers this year ! My husband, myself, my daughter, son # 2's girlfriend, son#1 , daughter-in-law,and their 2 boys. We had a great morning , but boy were we tired and dirty ! 

So many pumpkins and only so much room in the suburban ! My son and his wife and my daughter split a load.. and we gave my other sons girlfriend some of ours for in front of their apartment.

 You have to pack them in your car very strategically to get the most pumpkins :) This year we have 95 in our yard .. I know ...crazy ! Not to mention the 4 garbage bags of gourds !

 We always surround our front planting bed.. put them on the porch .. put a few in our mailbox planting bed.

 I haven't done a post on our Fall front porch yet , and tomorrow its transforming to A Halloween Porch.

 I used my Fall sign , some scarecrows, wood crates, mums and pumpkins.

 I painted the FALL sign last year on one of my old craft show shelves..They are perfectly distressed from so many years of hard use :) The other side of the board I painted the word JOY and use that on my Christmas porch :) I got the garland above the door at an estate sale last week , The same one I got the dishes for my hutch at ! It was $ 2.00 .. The tall skinny wooden scarecrow I got at a craft show this fall.. Don't mind the hoe handle on the right .. :)

 My Fall wreath was poofed and fluffed from last year.. It has gold decomesh , wired burlap ribbon , animal print wired ribbon , orange sparkly ribbon, sunflowers, copper colored leaf pics, berry pics.

 Thanks so much for stopping by ! I appreciate all your visits and nice comments ! Come back tomorrow to see my Halloween Porch ! Come follow me on Instagram , Facebook, and Pinterest ! Links in the sidebar ..
