It’s still hot here in Atlanta.
REALLY hot.
In fact, I have been saying I am going to write myself a letter to open next September 1st that reminds me that it is going to be hot for awhile. It seems that every September I am “surprised” at how hot it is!
But I know that cooler temps are coming and even though Atlanta hasn’t officially got the memo, our Trader Joe’s did and that was all it took for me to get a few fall touches on the back porch.
I snagged a few simple orange pumpkins for the fireplace mantel.
And I couldn’t resist the sunflowers and a few white mini pumpkins. I also snagged the pumpkin bread mix that they have every year… and I actually baked it.
It lasted around 20 hours before it was gone. I can’t decide if that means I should hurry up and make more of if I should never buy it again!?!?
There is just something about the orange of the pumpkin and the gold of the flowers that instantly makes it feel like fall! We spend lots of time out here even in the heat, and I know that once it cools down a bit we will be out here all of the time.
Now I can’t wait to check out lots of fall porch inspiration. So many pretty pictures linked below and it is really getting me in the mood for cooler weather! I also can’t wait to decorate the front porch for Halloween soon.

Your outdoor space is amazing!!! I don’t know if I have ever really seen it! What a great place to watch fall football games!!
Love your patio! So glad to see someone else has a fireplace instead of a fire pit. Need to get myself in gear and get to decorating our patio. It’s still hot her in Virginia too.
What a fabulous patio and I just love the fall additions you have added.
Your centerpiece is gorgeous! I love the pop of the sunflowers
I love your outdoor space – especially that gorgeous fireplace!! Looks beautiful all decorated for fall.
How lovely to be able to spend time outdoors so late into the fall… or all year round, I imagine! Your back porch is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy outside…once it cools down, I guess! Thanks for sharing, Heather:)
Such a cute space, Heather! Perfect for fall! So great being “on tour” with you today!
