Take a break for FALL!

I love FALL!!! Have I said that before.... Well - I do! And... if you have ever been in my house - you would know that....It is FALL inside my house .... all..... year...... LONG!!!!!! (well - at least in the Family room and Kitchen) ... I JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors of fall! I love the crisp air, brisky mornings, the smells of FALL!... you know, like PUMPKIN WASSAIL, CINNAMON NUTS.... mmm mmm! I love fall foods! Like SOUPS and BREADSTICKS..... PUMPKIN CAKE! (I'm getting hungry!) It all just makes me feel good!
To me - fall says....

warm

cozy

family

fun

gatherings

friends
visits
pretty COLORS

days are getting slower

life is slowing down

it is just ....

HEAVENLY!

I like that I can start decorating for fall (more than my usual daily stuff) in September... and carry it on through November..... and then I take a little break from my FALL-ness and decorate with Christmas....
then right back to FALL!!!! I just love it!

Remember the bench that I saved from going to the FIRE pit!?!?!

Well, I spruced him up for fall...

I love my bench!

Hmm... Looks like my door wreath and frame are hanging a tad big crooked...

If I could just keep everyone from running in and out of the house...

It might stay straight!

and... don't mind my messed up mess of baby punkins...

The grand-girls were here and they LOVE playing with my punkins!

I finally gave up on making them look "my-kinda-perfect"...

I'm quite liking THEIR kinda perfect better!

I am a bit distraught...

With our recent "FLOODING" in the basement,

I can NOT find my LEAF garland! AGH!

It is really bothering me!

I need it to wrap around the stair railing to make it look a little more complete....

And then of course the ORANGE lights....

I've gotta keep looking!

It's buggin' me!

Looks like my flower pot needs some fall sprucing too!

Guess I better get on that!

Sometimes I just dislike still shots...

I find everything WRONG that I didin't notice when I was just

STEPPING BACK and LOOKING.....

I love LOVE this frame & wreath!

A very DEAR friend made it for me!

And I just cherish it!

YOWZA! Crooked frame... crooked door valance...

What was I on???

and somedays... I just feel just like this...

"If I only had a brain!"

I love scare-crows too!
And unfortunately, this little guy got a bit wet with all our rain the past few days!

But I still LOVE him!

awe.... I love fall....

Have I told you that before????

Well, it's true.

I've joined up in the following LINKY partays!!!

Be sure to look around - I KNOW PROMISE you won't be disappointed! There is just soooo much... to take in..... and dream about.... and wish for... and OH MY!!!!
But, I can't promise you won't be OVERWHELMED! HAVE FUN!!!!!
