Isn't this charming? A simple, seasonal display of small pumpkins on a porch on Bell Island in Rowayton. Clapboard, chrysanthemums, tousled autumn grasses and a white porch. There was another house on Rowayton Avenue that had at least a dozen similarly-sized pumpkins placed all along the stone wall that edged the front yard. I thought that I could have that look here in Florida. I bought 3 wee pumpkins and arranged them on the little bench in our front yard (I would say front garden, but right now the weeds outnumber the flowers). I have also artfully arranged some Indian Corn on the front doors. What does Fairfield County have over us besides turning leaves, cool temperatures and architecture?
Connecticut does not have huge slimy garden snails that think these pumpkins are as tasty as they are picturesque. I just came in from getting the newspaper in the driveway and had to swat a gigantic clinging snail off one of the pumpkins. Nothing is sacred.
