I Like Thursday #110

It's time for I Like Thursday! They seem to come faster every week! You can visit LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color to read more happy and uplifting posts. We got the house all decorated for Fall. This is my front door. (obviously!!) I can see the backs of those little scare crows from my kitchen and I always think it's someone at my front door! I love the Fall decor but hate the colder weather as well as the upcoming Winter.


Here's the lamp post. We have orange lights on it. It looks really cute at night.


I got this orchid as a gift. It's so pretty! I hope I don't kill it off too quickly! The directions say 1/2 cup of water per week and to keep in indirect sunlight. Not sure how long it will last!


I love the colors of the hydrangea in the cooler weather. Nature makes some beautiful shades and combinations of color.

That's my week! This is an Autumn themed post. It's definitely cooler up here in New England. Don't tell anyone but I have put my heat on a few times. I hate the cold! Have a great weekend! Stay warm!!

  4. Our overnight temps are definitely cooling down. Meanwhile love what you did with the post and I can imagine how neat it would look at night with lights. A hint about the orchid...3 ice cubes a week just put on the top of the soil is enough water. I need another one as I love their blooms. I managed to keep one alive for 4 years.

  5. Hi Rosemary! Your front door and yard look so welcoming for the season. I can imagine the scarecrows would throw you off when looking at the door from the kitchen! It gives you a start, for sure. I've always heard that one ice cube for an orchid works well. I've never tried it, though. It looks like Jocelyn has!! ~smile~ Roseanne
