I'm usually eager to start putting out fall decorations in September, but I'm feeling reluctant this year. Maybe because summer seemed so short. Fall is my favorite season of the year and I don't feel ready for it yet!

I bought 2 scarecrows at Walmart yesterday. A boy & a girl to sit together on the bench in front of my apt. I have Summer birdhouses there now, and my morning glories are still blooming like crazy. I can wait till October.
I love the fall too, and October is my very favorite month of the year, but Summer is hard to let go. I guess because it never really felt like Summer till a couple of weeks ago.
I almost squealed when I saw the first pumpkins at Kroger.

I wanted to decorate last weekend but the guys didn't get my decorations down out of the attic. Soooo, tomorrow, they are coming down before anything else gets done. I love fall! Since our leaves don't turn here in Florida, I create fall inside the house. I'm so glad we'll be up north this year while the leaves are turning!!

Fall is, and has always been, my favorite time of year. When I was a Girl Scout camp counselor my camp name was 'Autumn' — or 'Fall' for short I would tease. This year we went from a late winter to a rainy spring that lasted all summer. It seems we have simply skipped over summer and headed straight into fall. It's confusing to see trees turning color at the end of August. At least there will be no shortage of pretty leaves to decorate with. I don't like summer and the heat, but I'll like autumn — unless we have just moved forward a season and we are going straight to winter in October. Somehow this year it wouldn't surprise me a bit.
We named our place 'Autumn Hills Farm' — here's my autumn view:

Fall is my favorite season too. I'm hoping I'll be seeing that view soon!

I don't decorate inside but I will outside. When I find what I am looking for I will put fall mums and decorative kale into my window boxes … and a wreath for the door if I can find some pretty fall leaves. Ours don't change here either.

Guess I still wont get a foddershock, or whatever it is called, since all the corn fields here only got about 3 to 4 ft tall before they died.
But I dont know, I dont feel like decorating anything.

So far, the only decorating that has been contemplated is cleaning up the garden a bit! We do have a fall garland up… (Don't ask how long it has been up, please!)

I love fall, I can smell it in the air in the mornings.
As soon as my pumpkins are ready (they are changing collor) they go out on the veranda and all my other decorations go up.
At the beginning of our driveway I always have a strawbale with a scarecrow, fall leaves arround our name sign.
I'm kinda ready for it, but that might be because we were so busy this summer that I want to slow down..and sew.

October has always been "fall" for me……maybe it's just because I feel the 1 month needed after "summer" is finished on Labor Day to regroup from all the summer activity. I decorate the first weekend in October……..sometimes it's been with snow, sometimes with 80 degree weather. I'm hoping it's summer this year — my thought spring came late, stayed late, now it's summer's turn.

I have been gathering grasses, leaves and dried flowers at the ranch to decorate my porch at my house in town. Have materials ready to transform my huge outdoor wreath into a fall themed wreath. I haven't used this in a few years because I've been lazy.
It has continued to rain here so today will be mostly an inside day so I hope to get some fall decorating done along with the list I pretty much neglected yesterday.

I have started a bit. usually when I am doing the fall garden cleanup, I put the pumpkins and such on the porch and the steps, where they are now. I am busy digging up the dahlias, cannas, callas, glads and four o'clocks to be wrapped and labelled for storage.
I have some grapevine wreaths that I want to decorate, at least one for my door. I made the basic wreaths last fall and have just never done anything with them. I left them outside on the front porch to dry. I am going to decorate them this year, maybe this weekend, I hope.
I bought some ribbons and such at garage sales this year, for that purpose.
A robin died in the early spring on my pile of grapevine wreaths on the front porch. I don't know what happened, the body was just there when I took them down. I don't know if they are clean and safe to use now. I am considering tossing them in the field and just making at least one new one for me.
I was very ill last fall and didn't get them done.
A squirrel also ate all the acorns I had saved to put on them, dried and salted. I can collect a lot more acorns now, however. I have three massive oak trees in the sort-of back yard.
Maybe I'm just not suppose to make these wreaths! lol!
What do you think?

I got my front flower beds cleaned out and the mums planted, just about all I will do.

Decorating for fall? I thought Mother Nature did that for me!

I usually decorate for fall around september, but this year I am putting it off. Here in our part of Oregon, we didn't have much of a fall/winter last year and now we have had a very mild summer. It has felt like fall all year, really, so I'm kind of burned out about it ;)

We had such a terribly hot summer so I started getting the pumpkins out the first day of September even though we still had the high temps. It seems like we were still very hot last week and tonight we have frost warnings.
