I love Autumn.\u00a0 I love the word, Autumn.\u00a0 I love the colors and the way the sunlight seems golden.\u00a0 I love the cool nights when we throw the windows open wide and sleep deep sleeps in the cool, crisp air.\u00a0 I love the almost too perfect days of blue skies and golden everything.<\/p>\n

I also love to decorate for Autumn.\u00a0 I have always felt our house was built for Autumn because it always looks it best this time of year.<\/p>\n

I love that Halloween comes in October.\u00a0 There are so many festivals and harvest celebrations in the Autumn.\u00a0\u00a0This is the front table of my shop.\u00a0 Those pumpkins are my very own pumpkins that I grew myself this year.\u00a0 David made the wooden pumpkin.<\/p>\n

A few years ago we traveled to New York to the finger lakes district and went through several\u00a0 beautiful New England towns.\u00a0 In one shop in one of the towns they were selling wooden jack-o-lanterns.\u00a0 They were kind of expensive and David said,\u00a0 “I could make them.”\u00a0 And he came home and made two for me and one for each of our kids and I painted them.\u00a0\u00a0 They light\u00a0up at night.\u00a0 I tell David he could make these and sell them.<\/p>\n

These are more of my pumpkins.\u00a0 I am already planning to grow pumpkins again next year.\u00a0\u00a0 I really like the white ones.\u00a0\u00a0 There is a scarecrow sitting just opposite these pumpkins, but I forgot to take a picture of him.\u00a0 I’ll show you later.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6859\"<\/a><\/p>\n

See how golden everything looks in our house?\u00a0 I picked these hydrangeas and sedum and lamb’s ear to make a dry flower arrangement.\u00a0\u00a0 Okay, you don’t see the golden?\u00a0 My picture just does not do the light coming in our house justice.<\/p>\n

I strung a garland of leaves I made across the kitchen window.<\/p>\n

Just a few things I have made to decorate for Autumn.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6813\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Autumn sedum is especially pretty this year.<\/p>\n

The squirrels are gathering nuts and other food for winter.\u00a0 This one is pretty plump.\u00a0 Looks like he\/she has been eating very well.\u00a0 I put out cobs of corn and the whole cobs disappear.\u00a0 Somewhere in some tree a squirrel has a lot of corn stored away.<\/p>\n

\"085\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course we always have candy corn or candy pumpkins out.\u00a0 David is the only one who eats them.\u00a0 I don’t really like them.\u00a0 Does that make me bad?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSCN6861\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got a Yankee Candle catalog this week and was astounded that they had a candle scented like turkey and stuffing.\u00a0 The catalog has scratch and sniff places in its pages and this candle smells very strongly of sage.\u00a0\u00a0 They also have Sweet Potato Pie scent and Cranberry Sauce\u00a0scent.\u00a0 I don’t know how they do it, but the scents are very close to the real thing.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago David laid a cement pad just outside the new door in my shop and two of my grandsons and David and I put our handprints in it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSCN6744\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our other grandchildren will have to put their handprints on with paint and then I will seal the cement for all eternity or until the cement falls apart or I fall apart, whichever comes first.\u00a0 It startles me that my grandsons’ hands are almost as big as mine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I haven’t posted any pictures of our dogs for a while.\u00a0 Please excuse Belle.\u00a0 She forgot her manners and stuck out her tongue.<\/p>\n

Here’s to Autumn, pumpkins, cool evenings, and naughty pups.\u00a0 Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
