Shameless!

Just a little

blablablabla 

(also known as nothing interesting to say).

I have noticed that blogging,

like most hobbies,

takes discipline.

Once you skip a day

or two

or eight,

it is hard to get back in the groove.

 Because by then

you feel like there is probably

not one more person 

out there 

that cares to see 

another pumpkin.

Or mum.

Even if they are in your oldest's sons 

old Radio Flyer...(and he is only a few months away from (UGH) 30!!!)

 And you are also quite sure that

everyone 

will notice how much you need to paint

your porch floor.

Or that you really need to buy some

hay and prop up your cute little pumpkin

so that it can be seen more.

 Not to mention that 

everyone in Blogland

has cutsie wreaths on their doors

and you pulled out

an old (one-legged) scarecrow

tattered pumpkin

and random flowers from

many places and various years ago.

 ...Then had the audacity to throw 

them together...

In a little metal bucket sleeve that says

MERRY CHRISTMAS

on the other side!!!

Then I took you to the

other side 

of the front door,

where the floor is equally 

as ugly.

BUT the good news is that it will be

painted soon,

as we are having a party on the 29th

of the month,

and that is one item we intend to 

check off. 

 And what about 

the fact

that I totally forgot

until I came outside 

to take the pictures,

that I never did 

go back

and plant those

pretty pansies!

What???!!!!!

I will go do that shortly!

 And have I ever mentioned 

that

The House

stood empty

for almost three years

while it sat 

in foreclosure,

before we got it?

 And it sits on a big 

corner lot

in a historic district,

where a trolley-full-of-lookers

goes by 

many times a day.

 I feel compelled to decorate 

both sides 

that face roads,

as well as our back 

garage area

and 

back fence.

 Especially when the neighbors

walk by 

on the sidewalk

and tell me

that they are glad

we moved in

and 

brought the 

house back to life.

That makes me a

happy pumpkin!

   

I guess in fact that 

the fall decor

represents me well.

Old and tired!!!

And discolored pumpkins with warts!

But it brightens up the

(literal) corner of my world...

and gave me something to

blablabla about,

so that I would get back 

to blogging!

It's almost the middle of the week!

Yes!!!!
