Sunshine has decided that Fall is here--time to put on her Good Witch hat and move to the front porch--where she can ward off spooks and goblins and vampires--especially vampires. . . .
See. . . .she has the garlic ready. . . .
Her Blackbirds are trained to warn her of impending danger. . . .

Harvest is a busy time of the year for Sunshine. . . .
. . . . a little leaf raking and garden work during the day. . . .
as she gathers the pumpkins and gourds she's been tending
all summer long. . . .
and puts fresh hay in the condo for her feathered friends. . . .

Best of all, she's cooking up candied apples and goodies for all those
good ghosts and goblins--
come Halloween night. . . .
and brewing magic potions of "toe of frogs" and "eye of newt" to
Scare away the "Bad". . . .
But, today it appears she's having to stand guard. . . .
"I wouldn't try that if I were you, Mr. Smokey. . . ."
"Oh, yeah?"
(Just look at the cattitude!!!!)
Poor Sunshine. . . .She has her work cut out for her with that one. . . .
"This is the time for goblins and bats,
Halloween spirits, ghosts and cats,
Weird happenings and witches brew,
A Happy Halloween I wish for you."

Oh how beautiful! I love every single piece of your decor. I know it is just a beautiful fall there on the farm.
Nice display, but Mr. Smokey really caught my attention! I'm a cat lover...how many do you have? I must admit that a lot of my decor or lack of is centered around what the cats will do to it when I turn my back.
Love your vignette. Really cute. I love that old birdhouse in the background. Adorable.

Oh...I just love this post! I am a cat lover in a big way. Your beautiful kitty is just bursting with "cattitude!"
I hope you are having a great day,
Blessings,

Thanks for your comments on my blog. Slipcovering my office chair was so much fun and very easy. I chose to make two covers...One for the back and one for the skirt. So much easier than trying to attach them. :)
Oh Dru, you have such a gift. What an amazing porch display.
blessings, jill

Mr Smokey ~ steals the show with me ~ although your porch decor is marvelous along with your excellent photography ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
Your porch is so festive! Mr. Smokey certainly is curious but then again he may just have his sights on capturing one of the crows.

Dru, I don't know which is cuter; Sunshine or Smokey. Love your welocoming porch! The bird condo is fab and I love all of the special little touches. Especially the garlic. Yes, we must ward off those blood sucking Vampires! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
