Falling into Fall



I know I have somewhere mentioned on here how much I enjoy Autumn. The warm days, chilly nights. Clearest of skies, bright blue and crystal clear. The colors of leaves a startling foreground against the sky. So today I will tipping one toe into the spirit of things to come. I plan on mulching the little garden, sort of tired of waiting for the management here to realize that their mulch ran it's course 2 years ago, not much left. It will keep the bushes happier, and eventually provide me with a cleaner planting ground. I have an elderly neighbor who has done the same, her little garden shows love and pride, a gift to those who pass by. So I am putting my own stamp on this little place.

I will not overwhelm my interior, it's simply too small to go for Fall overload, but I will carefully chose what to put out. It is after all my environment. No more comments from peanut galleries about decorating for the seasons. That is simply a part of me that got worn down by those who did not appreciate it, and my own way of celebrating life. One thing I can say for my ex-husband, he was supportive in letting me spice up my place. Granted I did not always make the best decisions and later regretted them, but I was not held back or made fun of. It would be nice to share this with someone who does appreciate it, but I doubt that will be a man. If it does not have a motor, cause destruction of some kind, blow things up, or be considered a sport, they are not interested.( At least not any man of my acquaintance.)

So I send pre-seasonal greetings to all. I know there are many of us that fall into Fall.
Have a wonderful week ahead.

I am looking forward to seeing your Autumn decorations! I, personally, have never really been into the seasonal decorations. My mom is, though. You have some beautiful things! Can't wait to see what you chose to put out!
Love, Mel
