Welcome back October~ We’re so glad you’re here!
October wouldn’t be the same without pumpkins. . .
I don’t descriminate. . .
Bumpy or smooth, big or small, orange or white, long-stemmed or tiger-striped, I like them all.
Indian corn hanging on rake, provides a harvest touch by the Potting Shed.
And even watering cans can use a little pumpkin decoration.
A Merry Halloween is only 31 days away. . .
I found this Halloween Countdown Calendar at World Market a couple of years ago.
Fly over HERE and put your name in the cauldron to enter my
‘Home is Where the Broom Is’ 7th Annual Halloween Giveaway!

L.M. Montgomery could not have said it any better….and you could not have welcomed in October any better with these always so stunning photographs of your garden of pumpkins and October pretties!….Have a great weekend Mary!
The quote that you shared from Anne of Green Gables, couldn’t be any more perfect, Mary! Your photos certainly show how you feel about this favorite month. May you have a beautiful weekend with Chole, Gracie and your hubby out on Lake Norman.
Your site always makes me happy! Thank-you for sharing your home and your talents with all of us!

GIRLFRIEND TRIP!!!!!!
I will begin Octoberness when I get back!!!!!
Mary, Thank you for your October post! It is such a glorious month!!! In New England it is magnificent although with our drought this year the trees and leaves seem dry and not as vibrant as normal. They are slowly changing.
Once again, really wonderful photos! Such fun.
Pumpkin madness…they’re everywhere…bring it ON!! franki
Mary, I am a new subscriber of only 2 days and already you have this scary good giveaway!!!! Wow!! Love your posts. We have a weekend place ( a 1973 mobile home, haha) at the lake.. ( Barkley Lake in Kentucky) it is so relaxing to get down there and enjoy the slowed down lake life, especially in the beauty of fall. The lake is like glass that reflects the amazing colors of fall foliage…I am excited to follow your posts on Pinterest and shared your link on Facebook .. thank you for the opportunity to win these fun prizes!!!
I love all of your colors and textures of glorious pumpkins! How fun that we now have access to such a great variety – just at the grocery store – even!! Glorious, glorious October! It is such a beautiful month!
Happy Fall! Love it all! Putting up my cornstalks today and going to buy my pumpkins! Every “Cyndi -Cinderella” has to have her pumpkins! :)
Equal Opportunity Pumpkin Lover!!! I love this post, and I can’t wait to decorate outside for fall. We have too much going on this weekend to decorate, but I got some wonderful ideas at the nursery yesterday! I was several adorable and creative pumpkin topiaries!
Fun post, Mary!
Love the photos as always. Everyday, I look forward to your blog. Gives me a couple of minutes of pure joy. Happy weekend and Happy October to you.
Hello October! Gotta unpack my stuff from the garage.
Yes, me too! I’m glad for October, and best of all are the beautiful days and crisp evenings that have arrived. Your pumpkin patch is great. I need to start one here. Have been waiting for the days to coo, l and I think we are there. I’m partial to the white pumpkins and the blue/gray ones, but happy to have a variety too.
Happy, happy fall!
So pretty. October is a nice month….love your cute dogs !
Anything CHOCOLATE
I made that cauldron with the witch’s legs and one with her hands for my front porch last year. Scary!
I know what you mean about pumpkins! All that gorgeous color makes my heart sing! Beautiful photos. I think October is my favorite month of the whole year! Have a great week.

Mary,
Autumn….. nothing better than the crisp fall air and the splendor and awe in the colors of fall leaves. How wonderful to experience them each year. Your pictures and recipes are inspiring!
Thank you. Happy October.
A beautiful October tribute. I must run down to World Market to buy that precious Halloween cat calendar. It has stolen my heart!!
What a great post as always! Love your photo and quote! Gorgeous! You are so gifted…just makes me want to visit you everyday! 😂 Hope you’re in for a blessed day.
I love all the decorations! Halloween is my birthday and I get so excited when I see the decorations. Now I want to go pumpkin shopping! Happy Halloween!
I always LOVE all of your beautiful pumpkins and decorations. You are such an inspiration. Hope your weekend has been beautiful!
Love the Merry Calendar Mary! How much fun to count down the days! October is indeed the most beautiful month in the South and your photos make me want to run to the pumpkin patch and buy more pumpkins! Happy October!

Happy October!🎃
I know you don’t answer comments. Nevertheless, I’ll ask this sorta question. We see the shore, the boat, and the garden shed, but not the inside of your home. Would love to have a tour sometime.
So adorable and joy-making. Love your pumpkins! Happy October, dear Mary.
One of my very favorite quotes! Your WM Halloween Count Down Calender is adorable. I have one I bought for Easter years ago. WM always has fun things! The fields with the hay bales and pumpkins are charming. I just returned from a day at Round Top, and the open fields of bales, cattle, and rolling countryside is worth the drive alone. Happy October!
