Fall ~ 2015

I went right up to the few days before Fall officially began before I brought out my decorations.  Of course, this week it is going to be in the 80’s and humid again!

I realize more each year that I am okay with keeping the seasonal decorations simpler.  When my kids were young and at home there was definitely more.  I think I put out even less this year than last, and, even now, I feel like I could take one or two things away and be fine with it.

I haven’t bought anything new for Fall in a couple of years, so I’m using what I’ve got and not all of it came out of the bins.  No, that’s wrong ~ I did buy this little cream colored pick-up truck {CVS} so I could use it with the little pumpkins I have for crafting and then, come Christmas time, I can also use it for some little bottle brush trees. 

Some decorations I set up just like I did last year and some I changed up a little bit.  In another couple of days, I will add the bits of Halloween in and then they can come away easily ~ without leaving any gaps ~ and it will just be Fall again.

I’ve got mums in the garden urns outside by both entrances.  I tried to pick those with mainly buds, but just where you could see what color the flowers will be.  They are just starting to bloom now.  Purple for the front door area.

And a mix for the garage door urn.   Right now it looks predominantly yellow, but there is purple, copper, rust, the yellow, and I thought I saw a couple of the cranberry red buds.

I can’t believe it is the end of September already!

Do you keep Fall decorating simple or do you go “all out”?
