Here are some of the houses in our neighborhood that are decorated for fall. There are many, so at some point I will likely have another post showing more.
This house always has the plant stand out front and changes it for the seasons. At Easter it has bunnies and eggs.
I thought these lights were beautiful.
An old tractor decoration!
I liked both of these colorful doors.
“Autumn dresses the
world in rust and gold, and harvest decorations are her jewelry—simple, earthy,
and full of grace.”
Today we had to go over Afton Mountain for a doctor appointment. We have to do this quite frequently. It's about 30 minutes away. We saw some strange sights. We had to drive SO slowly behind this house that was being transported.
Finally able to pass it, it was pretty big. Even had an air conditioner unit on it.
Next was this weird sight.
I did like this colorful truck encouraging people to adopt pets.
OY, it's rutting season for the deer! This road can be littered with dead deer by the shoulder. It is scary to drive here in the fall, as so many people hit the deer as they come racing across the highway.
We passed this strange item on the median in the center of the road.
Ah, finally at the parking garage, where the rafters are covered with these stickers! Maybe inspection notices?
Here is the tunnel we walk through that connects the two hospital buildings across the street.
And finally, the famous Blue Ridge Mountain overlook on the way.
“Driving over the mountains is like
flipping through nature’s storybook—each peak a plot twist, each valley a
whispered secret.”
This house in our neighborhood has a beautiful Rising Sun tree. They are so stunning in the fall. Each leaf is a perfect heart.
A tree where each heart is a sun
The beauty is second to none.
Tonight was the Full Hunter's Moon. Also a super moon, meaning it was bigger and brighter than usual. And we were on the hill waiting for it.
“October’s moon is no ordinary
light—it’s the echo of old seasons, when hunters followed its glow into the
quiet woods.”
Some of you may remember the house that was actually painted and decorated for each different holiday. For about two years it has sat with old broken Christmas decorations, looking deserted. So you can imagine my surprise when we passed it last week!
They did have a couple of large, splendid dragons.
And there was this one in front of Lowe's. Not nearly as fancy or pretty, but much larger.
“Fairy tales are more than true: not
because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons
can be beaten.” — Neil Gaiman
Close your eyes, the stars are near,
Even dragons rest, my dear.
Wings tucked tight and fire low,
Dreams drift soft where moonbeams
glow.
“Jet trails stitch the sky with
silver thread—reminders that even fleeting journeys leave a mark.”
Almost all the trees are still green. Except for a very few that now have yellow leaves. I especially loved this one. I believe it is a Black Walnut Tree. Many streets here are covered with walnuts!
And of course, everyone's favorite (NOT!) Goldenrod.
“Yellow leaves drift like sunlight
set free—each one a quiet farewell, glowing with grace.”
I am a day late with our calendar! I actually did not get to take it off the wall and change it till today. So, here it is.
We made another trip to Cracker Barrell. Phil loves these Pecan Rolls that are filled with nougat.
While there,we saw this unusual Last Supper water globe.
And can you guess what these cute hedgehogs are? They are on the tops of pencils!
This Christmas clock was TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS! I'm not kidding. The tree in the front revolves around , but that is the only special thing I saw about it.
I did buy this sweatshirt, as I love foxes! It was a reasonable price as well.
“You walk in for
pancakes, but leave with a rocking chair, a jar of jam, and a heart full of
nostalgia.”
