My October Front Porch
Well, here's a shot of my front porch. I took this photo a couple weeks ago when the sun was low in the afternoon sky. Ben bought three more smaller pumpkins the day before Halloween and put those on the porch for some extra festivity.
I think I had a wreath on the door for Christmas last year, but that's pretty much it. Even though I enter and leave our house through the garage most of the time, it makes me smile to see the fall colors on our front porch. What you don't see is the dead garden to the left of the door, or the mess under the tree that's making the shadow.
Maybe we'll plant some flowers this spring. Luckily, the previous owners planted a ton of tulips and a few daffodils in the front yard, so at least we have those annuals in the spring.
All this boring talk about house stuff... let me change it up and record for the ages that I have written 5,275 words for NaNoWriMo so far. To stay on track, I should reach 8,335 tonight. I'll need to take at least a one-hour break to watch Heroes, so we'll see how things go.
I'm proud of myself for staying on track (mostly) so far. I think by Day 5 in years past I've just about given up.
I have a pretty decent outline, so that's helping.
Oh, and Ben: thanks for making me coffee this morning. <3
