If You Give A Girl A Pumpkin......

She will decide she needs to make a topiary out of it with a monogram.......

Which will prompt her to pull out some baskets she has had in the closet since spring.......




She will need to Paint them so they match!

Which involves picking up a can of Colonial Red spray paint.

On her way to get the paint she decides she needs to stop at Michael's for some fall foliage for the baskets.......

She finds what she needs to fill said french basket which is now painted colonial red!

Then the weather is so gorgeous in North Carolina today she decided she needs to stay outside as long as possible. After she hangs her french baskets full of fall foliage on the door she.....

Places her fall wreath up as well......

Black eyed Susan's, green hydrangea, fall leaves .......

She decided to dress her rockers for fall as well......

Just one more peak at the baskets.........

She adds some pillows to her rockers........

She places her pumpkin topiaries in urns on the porch...........

She decided to put up some Halloween fun......

and lines her walk way with iron luminaries.........

she adds some signs to her shutters........

and because she wants to stay outside as long as possible she plants her fall mums..........

If you give a girl a pumpkin you never know what the day will bring. Join Susan for more Met Monday action over at Between Naps On The Porch.
