Autumn has arrived!

I have no pretty pictures of colorful leaves just yet because they hadn't started to change until this past week.  The jungle of kudzu covered trees behind my apartment has changed to yellow this weekend and as in the past will quickly turn brown (so disappointing). I'm going to have to actually go outside and find the prettier trees. Unfortunately I'm not really able to trek far with my cane, but I'll try.

I used to live in a wooded community in Southern Maryland. It wasn't hard at all to see gorgeous color. Because of our location the leaves turned later. I would actually stress out if we had been in drought conditions because it meant leaves fell quickly and autumn was over in the blink of an eye.

The nights here in Ohio are finally turning colder, and we're expecting temps in the 50's this week. So this old autumn baby is happy. My decor is spread out making me smile, a change of scenery was well needed. I'll share my views below. I don't do spooky decorations as I used to, I've been forced to down size too many times and much went to goodwill. 

I hope that everyone can experience their own autumn fun. For my readers in the Southern hemisphere I know that summer is upon you. I'm sorry, this old fart would lose what's left of her marbles if my seasons were reversed. Living in Southern California for 9 years made me miserable. I don't care, Thanksgiving and Christmas are cold holidays and much of my seasonal happiness was lost there .

So gaze upon my meager decorations and be well.
