We bid goodbye to another summer this week but I’m not giving up the ship. I’m looking forward to the return of the Indian Summer that always pays this Mid-Atlantic area a visit.

A rather plain door above but the pairing with the kayak on the porch I couldn’t pass up.

I always like doors that should say Watch Your Step.

Some fronts are so Welcoming they even put out a sign saying so.

And if you follow my posts, you know I can’t miss an opportunity to plug my great state of Maryland.

The windows with waterfowl and fish and the words Local Home say it all.

This door was a little plain, so I spruced it up with the flowers planted out front.

Photog prerogative on this shot. I didn’t care for the door but I liked everything outside of it and I did catch a small corner of the door, so I hope it passes the mustard here.
