MY FALL DECOR

I've never been one to decorate for fall. Just a couple of the usual pumpkins on the porch and that was about it. I always hated the thought of having to store it all somewhere. Plus, because I have soooo much Christmas decor I usually get started putting up my first tree on Halloween. But this year I came across a couple things I just couldn't live without and so it begins, LOL.

THE FRONT PORCH AND WINDOW BOXES

It's about time to get those mums in the ground. I have some new landscape this year with some nice big empty spots just waiting for them.

THE FAMILY ROOM

The cage witch doll is what started the Halloween decorating for me. I made the crackle finish pumpkins in the early 90's for a craft sale - left overs. I never displayed them and several times they nearly went to a charity store. The plan was to have an antique postcard enlarged to frame and stand in the middle but it never quite materialized. Next year for sure!

I started out with a basket full of apples until, one day, when I saw a fruit fly buzz by. Now the basket serves as an ideal spot to dry my gourds. They are in plain view so I remember to turn them every day. These are the only 2 gourds the darn rabbits didn't decimate. Next year They'll be growing on a trellis. Uh huh!

Now the thing that always strikes fear in my heart. Hitting the Publish Post button. I always struggle with this. Spending all afternoon taking pictures, cropping and editing, and then arranging everything just so. And then.................... and then I click publish and everything scrambles and re-arranges and nothing is where it belongs. Yesterday was especially bad and, after pulling out all my hair, I deleted my post & turned off the computer for the day. Does anyone else struggle with this? Well, I guess I better click that button and get on with my day. I am taking my 76 yr old mother to the hospital for knee replacement surgery today. Time to replace the replacements.
