Joy

W drove past the most joyful house yesterday; I just had to post it! What I love is the bright yellow front door, and matching sunflower. If a house could smile, this one would have a big grin.




Strangely enough, they also had corn growing in the yard!

On the same day, I saw the first house this year that is decorated for fall. Also strangely, they seem to have some fourth Of July decor as well!

I agree with you on the first house, what a happy house! I love the second one too, maybe all the flags are due to the election this fall. Have a great day Ginny :)

You do have some houses near you with interesting and cheerful decorations.

You are right! That door screams joy and it is Sunflower yellow and I would not have thought I would like a sunflower yell at door but I love it. And love the sunflower. Also I usually don't like doors that have glass inserts but I love that one it is a happy house

And what a Happy Blog Look, it provides your with!!!!

They don't have to do anything, to decorate for Autumn.

Love the first Autumn decorated house.

Actually, I think this year, it is wonderful to keep flying our Beloved Flag. Since there are so many people, who want to rip it apart. Along with ripping the whole Country apart.

Pretty and joyful. I love the happy and joyful sunflower and door. One doesn't see a yellow front door very often.
Perhaps the patriotic decor is for Labor Day.
