The First Sign

 I was so excited to spot this house today! It looks like a regular house, but has something special.


Pumpkins on the porch. The first sign of fall I have seen this year!



This little dog was beside them. I believe him to be their guardian. He gets paid in bones.

I'm really not ready for pumpkins yet, but my daughter has put some Fall things out at her house too. I'm hanging onto Summer! :)

Wow... I love my summer :-))) Mind you, autumn—with its colorful foliage and the harvest of apples, pumpkins, and the like—isn't too shabby either.
Lovely photos.
Warm regards, Viola

Oh, pumpkins on the porch! That's a charming house. I can't wait to get a couple pumpkins for my porch. That little dog is cute too. I love the quote, and have used it on my blog before. It's wonderful.
