Summer's End

 There is a row building of about four apartment houses, and one of them always has a LOT of seasonal decorations out front. So last week I stopped by. Unusually, they still had their summer things out, but they were abundant and really colorful.


I could never snap the entire front because of all the cars parked in front.


And this is all just one small row apartment!

the flowers are gorgeous and probably the reason they are leaving it up. have to wait until the fall weather kills them to take them down..

I am keeping all my flowers going outside for as long as I can too. I will decorate for Autumn outside October 1st.
Fun photos Ginny!

Wow, that's sure colorful. I love the painted balloon "lanterns", especially the gnome one.
It always amazes me how much decorating the neighborhood does all the time. A real Artist's Colony it seems.

So pretty and colorful, Ginny! I have yet to go out to explore my side over here in the bay area.

People are really into decorating their porches in your town. I only see old rusty things decorating porches in my town, including some things on my property.

They're cheerful, but I like fall better!

What zeal! It's better than apathy, I suppose. xoxo

Beautiful colors. You couldn't be sad living in this house with all the vibrant colors, flowers, and decorations. They must be very happy people.
