Oh, I love that little porcelain cat.
Looks so much nicer than our autumn, which is turning out to be just soggy
Autumn in New England is always beautiful.
Looks lovely!
Nice
Many thanks!
The cat looks very comfy in the leaves Laurie and you live in such a beautiful forest 🧡🍁
What a lovely looking home to live in! We are enjoying green, green, and more green as it is raining lightly – rather lately – at last!
Very autumnal.
Ready for the snow to fly! 🙂
Beautiful … and I love your red house in the forest 🌿
Your house looks very snug tucked in amongst the trees.
Oh, thanks!
Do you paint the house green in spring?
Indeed we do! And white in the winter. 😉
No snow…so it’s still all good! Pictures from here a year ago show we had about a foot of snow, but still color in the leaves on some of the trees. This year the wind and rain have brought all the leaves down, so the trees are bare but we only got a tiny dusting of snow. I’ll take it! Your house is so pretty! When I lived in the UP of Michigan a lot of the houses were colors beside white. They said they had so much white during the long winter months they needed color! Is that the same in Maine?
Thanks! Red is a classic color for homes in New England.
When we were in Finland a year ago this past summer, I noticed all the houses in Farsund, the town we were near were either white or gold or red. I asked and apparently there was some sort of ordinance that prescribed what colors you could paint your house. I looked cool, all so similar but I wondered what would happen if someone wanted to paint their house green. The person I asked seemed surprised that I would even have a question like that, so maybe no one would think to paint their house green either.
Oh, goodness! Fortunately, people in my town can paint their houses any color they want. Hot pink, if that is their hearts’ desire. Not many hot pink houses in Winthrop, though. 😉
I love your kitty in the leaves. She’s like a bit of snow: a portent of things to come!
Yes, yes!
Kitty is certainly warm and cosy with her blanket of leaves!
She certainly is!
Lovely pictures. Living in the woods is magical at this time of year.
It surely is!
I hope these show that it is warmer than usual
Warmer at the beginning of the month. About average now.
True to the season, and a forerunner of what is to come … the snow followed by the rejuvenation of life.
And so it goes. What is old always seems new.
The cat is so relaxed 😉 Beautiful pics ❤️
Thanks, Kellie!
The cat has a leaf nest. Red is such a lovely warm colour against the fall colours.
Oh, thanks! Red is a classic New England color for homes.
Home sweet home.
Until yesterday we had rains and lots of it but today it’s snow. I would love to have a snow blanket now.
Snow could come anytime to Maine. Some years it has by now. We shall see…
🙂
Beautiful fall leaves and I really like your home….nice.
Thanks so much!
Red is a nice color for a house, and must look beautiful amid the snow and evergreens. The kitty statue amid the leaves gives a warm feeling to the season. 🙂
Thanks, Lavinia!
Love the color of your home through all the beautiful seasons in Maine!!🙂
Many thanks!
Pretty sure I have said before that I love the red and white….bears repeating.
Thanks so much!
Looks like later fall, Laurie. Soon the snow will paint it all white. Stay cozy.
Will do! Thanks.
I love the layers of leaves and the little nest for the kitty. 🙂
Thanks, Robin!
