Fall officially arrives Wednesday and I’m ushering in my favorite season with pumpkins, mums and corn stalks around the Potting Shed!
I’m eagerly anticipating cooler temperatures and fall foliage. . .
And I’m chalking up Summer 2015 as one for the record books with its heat and dry weather. . .
Stick a fork in me, I’m done. . .
Are you listening Mother Nature?
And in total agreement with William Cullen Bryant:
“Autumn, the year’s last, loveliest smile!” (! by me :)
Are you looking forward to fall and pumpkin season?
Thank you for your visit, I’m joining:

You are so unbelievably talented…How you create, keep the fur babies spotless and do a post so often blows my mind. This is beautiful as is every post…..It always makes my day
Just beautiful!
Neat, neat, neat!! Next to decorating for Christmas, Fall is my favorite decorating time…love all the “funky” looking pumpkins & gourds they are hard to find..I particularly like the “stick a fork” in me I’m done!!! LOL!! A new idea for our pitch fork..😍🍁🍂🍁🍂🌻🌻🌻
I was DONE the 4th. of July! Getting ready to pay a 250. Water bill.
WOW!! Michelle…that’s sad.. What were/are you watering?? We don’t water our lawn..it’s too much. I water my flowers and sometimes the veggie gardens. I hope you get rain soon if that’s your problem..
WOW! What a lovely display of fall!
Yikes…when I think you cannot get it any better with the glorious displays, you always do!!!…Yep, we need the cooler temps…so over these hot,hot days!….Love that lumpy, bumpy pumpkin with that fabulous stem!….Can’t wait to go to the Farmers Market to get some great pumpkins…

Beautiful photos! Love the door and the pumpkin displays. Happy Autumn!

Perfection Mary- I love all the details! I just gathered some pumpkins over the weekend. I haven’t seen the cornstalks available yet, but I’m sure it will be soon. I love these kinds of arrangements and can’t wait to create mine. As always your blog posts are an inspiration!
I loved seeing my favorite potting shed happily adorned in Fall decor, Mary! The chalkboard with a favorite quote, along with the ! by you is the perfect welcome sign. May you have an enjoyable week puttering or potting!
I feel like your dried corn stalks Mary! Your potting shed bursting with fall decor, is just what I need to be hopeful that cool temps are coming! I haven’t bought mums yet, too hot here still, but I did pot some pumpkins, don’t you love the warty ones? I love the berry vine trailing about and your chalkboard art and quote is so cute and fun~ your incredible scene has me smiling and feeling brighter on this gloomy Monday, it’s actually raining a bit so maybe it won’t be quite so hot…and I won’t have to take 2 showers today :)

I just simply love your shed more and more with each visit, Mary!
Love everything you put out. I so want a shed to decorate. Can’t wait for Wed. and actually celebrate fall.
I love this…what is the vine/twigs with the orange berries? It is beautiful !
Thanks Robyn, it’s Bittersweet vine :)
Looks wonderful, Mary!
You made my husband and me crack up with the fork comment. We had some of that here in Chicagoland after one of the coldest/wettest/prolonged Springs on record. Summer didn’t start here until the second week in July while Texas was already baking for months. Pumpkins are barely turning orange and our corn is only beginning to dry. Beautiful displays for Fall…always enjoy your posts, thanks, Sandi.
Everything around us here in southeastern PA is showing signs of early fall and your beautiful post just adds to the glory of it all! Put out our fall décor this morning and enjoying it so much…fall through Christmas is my favorite time of year.
I’m done too! Loving your autumn touches. I plan up dressing up our backyard this year. The front yard always seems to get the attention. Not this year!

Mary, beautiful autumnal display! Have a lovely week! Pam (everyday living.me)
I love bittersweet vines and berries….When I couldn’t get them, I used Pyracantha (sp?) berries instead, but they don’t give the light, airy feeling of the bittersweet vines…
Lovely as usual, Mary! Happy Fall Equinox!
A wonderful display celebrating our new season! Love all the varieties of pumpkins you found! You definitely have the perfect setting for sharing these fall treasures. Thanks so much for sharing! Rosie @ The Magic Hutch
Mary,
Love your autumn decorations–it feels like autumn today as it’s only 63 degrees with light rain.

Mary, I just love your posts and of course your shed. I started to plant my mums and put out cornstalks and a couple of pumpkins, but have not done my shed area. Thank you for the inspiration! Today was our first cool, dry day and usually in the North East we have had a few by now. I love all your different pumpkins and gourds along with your chalkboard too. The Autumn header on your blog is beautiful! Happy Fall Mary.
~Mary~
woooohaaaa, love your fall display!! Do you grow “BitterSweet”? I took a drive out to the countryside and can not find a vine growing :( . so disappointing.

As always, Mary you have such a gift for selecting exactly the right plants and decorative items. Like you, I am looking forward to the cooler weather and the beautiful fall colors.
I am so ready for Fall. I don’t think you could stick a fork in me as I’m to well done. With temps over 100 over the weekend, it’s just terrible. I am sick, sick, sick of this HOT weather.
Your Potting Shed is beautiful with all your lovely fall flowers, pumpkins, etc.
Have a great week,
Mary
Lovely as always. Fall has always been my favorite season and Saturday I did accomplish getting out all the fall decorations and dishes and putting away the summer/ beach theme. Thanks Mary for the extra push because it was really hard to let summer go this year. Now, to work on the yard…. lol.
Fall arrived here yesterday, BAM! Cooler temps and gorgeous days and nights. I leave for the beach tomorrow with my girlfriends. This is an annual trip, we have done this for 41 years now!!!!!!!!!!! It’s a fun few days of shopping, beaching, eating, games etc. Your shed always blows me away. Your displays get bget better and better…..how do you do that:):) Have a BEAUTIFUL day!!!!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! And did I mention that everything is GORGEOUS! What talent!!!! Autumn! Love it! It may smile, but you make it SING!!

Mary, Your shed is decorated beautifully for Fall! I especially love the chalkboard. I am soooo over this heat too but here in Florida we will only see a slight dip in temperature around the end of November. Thanks for joining the Share Your Style party and Happy Fall.
xx,
Sherry
Beautiful pictures!
Hello!
This is the first time I have stopped by your blog-it’s beautiful! I am wondering what the fern-like silver plant is tucked in by your purple petunias? It’s so pretty! And your porch is beautiful all decorated for fall :)
~Susan
Thank you Susan! It’s Artemisia :)
I love the chalkboard door and orange berries. Just gorgeous.
this is what i call nothin but PURE JOY! so my kind of day…
Mary- I just discovered your blog and I feel like I have made a new friend who greets me every morning. I am recovering from a serious car accident and your posts are “just what the doctor ordered.” My loves are photography and flower gardening and because of my injuries, it will be a long time before I can do either. Your blog is an inspiration and brings me a lot of happiness.
Margaret, Thank you for your visits and sweet comment! Wishing a speedy recovery. ♥
