Happy first day of Fall! I’ve been waiting not-so-patiently for my favorite time of year and autumn’s arrival, how about you? Now if only Mother Nature will cooperate and bring us some relief from our 80 degree temps with some crisp fall air! I hung a wreath to welcome fall, adding some natural elements to a ready-made wreath,…
Is it hot and humid where you are? It’s sweltering here with heat index in the triple digits.

I am currently dog sitting my mother-in-law’s two puppies while she’s in the hospital, so I’m knee-deep in white dogs as well as Christmas decorations. :) Thank you for all your prayers and get well wishes for her, please keep them coming.

In anticipation, I’m surrounding myself with whites, to stay cool, at least psychologically, on the porch. I’ve been busy with some household projects the past several weeks and no time to play with my camera, so I…

I’ve been busy harvesting pumpkins, gourds, goldenrod, leaves and pots of mums for Fall Around The Potting Shed! A basket on the door is filled with goldenrod and oak leaves, still green, which don’t turn in North Carolina until the end of October. You’re welcome to peek inside at the chalkboard door with a favorite quote…
Fall is my favorite time of year and I love harvesting leaves, acorns, and bits of organic material to bring nature to the table! My preference is to use real materials, but here in the South, our leaves don’t start to turn until mid October, so any fall decorating before then requires artificial garlands or wreaths.…

I hope you enjoy revisiting a celebration…
