Yesterday was the first official day of Fall; and I couldn't be happier. The picture above shows subtle changes from the other day. Already, I am seeing more and more oranges and reds and burgundy flashing from the trees alongside the road. While I was out on my walk, I noticed that some of my neighbors have already begun to decorate their front porches for the Fall and Halloween season. This excites me and I will decorate in October. I am very strict about when I put up my Halloween decor. Some people like to put up Christmas lights before we've even experienced Thanksgiving! That is cool for them, but when it comes to the holidays, I prefer to wait on it a bit. I am eagerly awaiting the Martha Stewart Halloween edition of Martha Stewart Living, something I get each year. I'm certain I will glean all kinds of fantastic ideas for this year from her magazine.
Since it is Fall, I decided to at least put up a Fall decoration, rather than a Halloween decoration. I went up into the attic and found the wreath that I made a few years ago. Before I could put the wreath on my door, I discovered the hook was missing from the door. Then, I found that a piece of the wreath was going to fall off. I glued the piece back on and set the wreath aside to allow the glue to dry. I still couldn't put the wreath up until I found a hook for the door. Once I had that resolved, it was much later in the day, I'd decided to put the wreath up today, instead. After going out for errands this morning, I came home and found the house cat, Bingo, curled up snugly inside the wreath. I'm not certain when I can convince her to evacuate. Until then, I'll lay low and watch my back. This week, I have a lot of crafting to do and when I do, I'll share. Until next time~ Toodhaloo!
