Front Porch Planter Boxes

Hello!

November is a slow month for me, I guess.  Last year, most of my November Posts were the Tasty Thursdays (or Fridays), with only a few other posts.

There was no school on Friday for Parent-Teacher Interviews.  Both kids are doing well in school, which pleases me very much.  I'm so glad they're liking school, especially N who is at the Intermediate (Jr. High) School for the first time this year.

I don't decorate for Christmas until after American Thanksgiving, which is this Thursday.  However, one of the planter boxes on the front porch fell down, spilling all the contents.  Since it was a nice mild day, I decided to cut some evergreens for both boxes. I hope they will last thru the winter!

I still have the fall foliage baskets up.

I moved the table over, but it may not stay there. 

Here's looking from the side stairs. Won't it be nice to have the porch ceiling done? ;-) 

Here's a random pic of the front yard. 

Here's looking more toward the back.  This is where the boats will stay for the winter.

Oh, see our neighbor's house?  There was a fire there!  It was a few weeks ago, caused by a burning candle.  Our neighbor, who is Ken's second cousin, was gone and came home with his daughter around 9:00pm to find the house burning!  We had no idea this was going on until we heard the fire truck sirens and we peeked out the window. The whole house needs to be gutted and won't be liveable til the spring!  Pretty scary!

Make sure you practice fire safety!

Have a great week! :-)
