The Simple Joys of October in Georgetown

Georgetown Fall Preview

While springtime may be the best time of year around Georgetown, mid fall gives it a run for its money. It’s not just the natural beauty–although that’s part of it–residents pitch in too.

Whether it’s a simple pumpkin on the stoop, or something much more elaborate, Georgetowners really seem to get into the spirit of the harvest season. But some perennial favorites stand out. Of course the obvious one is Nancy Taylor Bubes’ house at 31st and Q, which gets into the Halloween spirit more than any other house:

1600 block of 31st St.

But GM’s neighbor the Kenney’s bring their own Halloween charm to the streets with their daily-changing skeleton:

(as of last night it was a princess skeleton).

And of course, there’s GM’s nemesis: the ginkgo trees. As long as we suffer through their putrid berries, we might as well bask in the brief glow of their brilliant fall foliage:

Ginkgo Season Not So Bad This Year

3000 block of R St.

The other trees aren’t half bad either:

3200 block of R St.
