Fall wreath

A Quick Front Porch Refresh

When I sat outside to read my Bible this morning I definitely noticed a slight chill in the air. It had me thinking of this verse in Ecclesiastes…

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. Ecclesiastes 3:1

The changing of the seasons happens every few months, each year, without fail. God is so consistent, and that’s one of the many attributes of God that I am continually amazed about. The sun? It rises each morning and sets each night. All the while, God slings beautiful sunrises and sunsets across the sky. He is steady, unfailing, and creative. 

I mentioned in my last post that I was torn on decorating for fall, so I decided to at least decorate our front porch and refresh it a bit. Jimmy laid Sadie down for a nap and I got right to work! Here’s what I did:

  • Put up a fall garden flag
  • Spray painted a planter black
  • Took down our summer decor
  • Bought a container from Dollar Tree and drilled holes in the bottom
  • Planted mums in the Dollar Tree container
  • Put up our fall wreath

How about a few photos?

I filmed a short video of the whole process, which is here in case you want to watch! All in all, the little refresh took about an hour and a half and was so enjoyable! Now I’m thinking I should do something for our backyard because we hang out there a lot. 

When I came inside from the front porch, I found these two cuties sharing the couch!
