I'll decorate a bit later this month. We're planning a trip to Oregon in early October and will be going 1 1/2 weeks. I usually do a month or so of apple themed decorations because I live next to the apple orchard that I grew up in and apples are one of the farm crops we had on our farm, but I don't think apples are going to happen this year unless they get incorporated into the other fall stuff I do.

Fall is my favorite season too. I pick Chinese lanterns and cut off the leaves to dry. I love to find bittersweet and cut off these leaves to dry. I have made a table runner and a small wool appliqué wall hanging, I use these for decorating. I have some fall c oleoresins hand woven placemats for the table too. One year I bought a nut wreath and stored it to use for Christmas. I had stored it in the wrapping paper box. When I went to get it out it was just full of tiny bugs, the kind that get in cereal. Ugh! It took a long time to get rid of them. I won't use nuts again unless they are frozen first.

Oh gosh Winnie, for me Fall isn't Fall until the popcorn balls come out! I found them today.  All my Fall decorating is done except for the porch. It is too wet and nasty to put things out there yet. But it has been fun doing the swaps and using the things I've received to decorate my home.

Hehe, Sara, I have already found the candy corn and enjoyed a bag!!!Then I found the pumpkin candy corns and still working and enjoying those!! Fall isn't Fall for me until the candy pumpkins arrive. Love those silly things!! LOL@@
Well, we are all watching Hurricane Florence carefully down here. There is one model that has Florence hanging off the coast and drifting as far south as Jacksonville, Fla. which will then mean we will get heavy rains and winds here in Gainesville. NO real fall feeling here with temps about 93 degrees, humid the the weight of a possible hurricane filling our minds!! LOL!!

Very few northern MN trees have turned colors. I think the weather man said the warmer weather was delaying it? It needs cooler weather and rain? Kinda missed it! :o)
Winnie, you are welcome! :o)

Hay there.
Mz Winnie, your meanderings brought back so many memories for me. We also let the outdoors be our decorations. We were always busy with the end of summer chores so the house didn't get a "dress up". Hahaha, it did good to get a CLEAN UP but the kitchen was cleaned from top to bottom. I suppose it was in preparation for Thanksgiving. I still live on the ranch but I love to have some of the great outdoors inside.....and I don't can near as much as my parents and grandparents coz I don't have a garden like our 2 acre one of days gone by. All in all, if the windows get opened and I can have a small fire outside in fire pit, then I will be a lucky lady. (I think I will gather some pinecones and tall grasses and rose hips and enjoy them!)
Hugs,
Daizy

It's candy corn time and I can't wait to get my first bag of candy corn. Maybe I should indulge in a small bag of candy pumpkins too. Oh my, the simple joys of Fall!

Hey Eliz, I am proud to have been the person to name your lovely Summer Farm!! Thank-you for the compliment!!
I know that many people love the fall season but rarely decorate. It is just a matter of preference. For me, surrounding myself with fall colors and unique harvest themed things like pumpkins or mums, just makes me feel happy. That is really why I do what I do. Growing up in Charlottesville, Va which is at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mts, Fall was a real tangible change of the landscape with colored leaves, chilly temps, apple barns full of orchard apples of many varieties , and pumpkins out in farm fields with lots of feet corn fields drying. My Mom never decorated the house because we lived in the middle of those landscape changes. How I knew it was fall was that we brought out our sweaters, a new school year was rolling out, trips to get bushels of apples to can and eat ,leaves piled up in the back yard and we jumped in them before they were burned and mulched, and putting the storm windows in place for the cold weather all happened each year. Every Halloween we would get a huge pumpkin for the porch and Mom would scrape out all of the flesh to cook before we carved the face. Halloween was the first pumpkin pie for dinner of the season!! We kids loved that so much!! The rest of the cooked pumpkin meat was frozen for our Thanksgiving and Christmas pumpkin pies. Fall was about living the change. Here in Florida, however, that does not happen because we live in a semi-tropical climate. I discovered that I still crave those same traditions I grew up with so now I just re-create the Fall of my youth inside my home.

We are in the woods at our summer farm (Winnie gave me the idea to call it that :o) Thanks Winnie!! We will go home Oct 3. Sometimes when I get home I don't have time to decorate. This year fingers crossed I will!
I love Fall. First thing we look for in the woods is the mosquito die off! Unfortunately its been so hot and humid they are alive and well. :o( Also horse flies and Deer flies are usually gone in Fall. But heat and sunshine have brought a few out yet. The only thing I hate about Fall?? Asian Ladybugs going into every building here.
I'm dreaming of crisp cool air!
Joyfully, Eliz~ |

OK,,, hubby & I had to run down to the far east side of Spokane (25min drive) to the Lowes to pick up irrigation stuff and a AMP box thingie... so as we were almost home,, I told DH to pull into the Starbucks .. and he did. So in celebration of Fall/Autumn,,, I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte,, ya ya, I know,, a gazillion calories... but.... I figured, we are having a frofro salad for dinner so I could justify that Latte... Well dang,, I am sooo disappointed,, the service was uber slow,,, and by the time I got my Latte, the whip cream melted to non existent,, but the real bummer was,, the pumpkin latte just wasn't all that great as I remembered it... I usually only go to (SB once a year)...
But that didn't dampen my spirits for celebrating Fall/Autumn... cuz my daughter & I are heading out to town tomorrow for some junktiquing and craft store cruising... lol!
Bring on the Fall décor... got my 40% off coupons in my billfold.... lol!

I'm with you Dawn. I am just biding my time inside until next week when we get out of the 90's with the 100's heat indexes. My guys have to work in it and I know they will be grateful.
I love all these wonderful photos. Really gets one in the mood for all the fun fall has to offer!

Today I swapped out my spring/summer decor for my autumn. A lot of work, but it is cheering me up to no end. I'm completely ignoring our 92 degrees out today! Autumn can't get here soon enough weather wise for me!

Barbara, our daughter lives in Asheville and I love going to visit her. That 360 degree view of the mountains at all times just warms my heart and makes me happy!! I think those of us in the South are all ready to hang up our fall aprons and pull out the flannel shirts! It has been one long hot stinkin' season this year!! LOL!! Oh my your freezer is going to be full of some great garden veggies come the cold wet days of 2019. Hmmmm, a nice hot vegetable soup on the stove to enjoy by the fire sounds very cozy and yummy right now!!

I used to live in Asheville---beautiful place. I am so ready for fall! Summer has finally beat me up. I am hot, sweaty. sunburnt, bee stung and bug bitten. The kitchen and basement are full of veggies waiting to be put into jars and freezer bags. Everything is dirty and messy---me included. I am so tired at the end of the day that I can barely walk. Glad the hummers are leaving. They were eating a gallon a day---five feeders to be filled twice a day. Oh peaceful winter days I am so ready for you! First to gather a ton of firewood. Life do get tedious---LOL.
