Unlike the stores around town I don’t skip from Halloween to Christmas. I take time to celebrate Thanksgiving. I’ve decorated the outside of the house with some metal pumpkins I bought several years ago at “The Longest Yard Sale”. If you read my earlier posts you will know I bought a metal Turkey to accompany my pumpkins at the same event this year.

The turkey is also a planter capable of displaying a beautiful mum. My big decision was what color mum to place in it. I chose a rust color to compliment the green exterior of my house. To make sure people driving by could see the turkey I moved it from place to place in the yard trying to find the perfect spot. Not sure I’m there yet but I settled on this location. What do you think?

Oooops — I didn’t realize until I posted this that you can see my reflection in the glass of the door. Sorry.
