Fall Displays....

   Sorry, I am showing so many of last years' fall photos. I just have not been out to get any new shots lately. These are from Hortons. So glad Karen lets me take so many.

 Aren't these jingle pumpkins cute? I did not see any this year.

  We could all paint our  baskets to look like this. So adorable.

 This is a close up, although blurry, of a bumble bee on my sedum plant. All flying things love this plant. It must  be sweet.
  Went out this morning to watch the eclipse of the blood moon. It was wonderful and it was cold out.
I am still amazed at the natural beauty of the  stars , moon and the sun. Aren't we blessed?  Enjoy this great day. XO

More Fall Pictures....

 I really like this wreath. Chubby little owl just makes it so special. Spotted this at a Horton's last year.

 Some of the trees in the park. I love our park so much. I like it best in spring and fall.

 This is one of the downtown parking lots and this picture is from last year also.

 Some corn harvesting from last year. Since it rained the past two days , on and off , the harvesting is on hold for now.

This is the field across the road, this year it is soybeans. Most fields are rotated from corn to beans  and visa versa. Some times a few of the farmers around here will bale the corn stubble. It makes bedding for animals and they can chew on it also.
 No I am not a farmer. I always wanted to be outstanding in my field...but not that way. LOL.  I wish all the farmers well this year. Seems like a good crop year in these parts.
 Enjoy this nice day everyone. XO

Autumn Colors....

 You know you have to have pumpkin orange. This is from a time I went to an apple orchard  west of Kokomo.

 Here are some of the apple choices. My daughter got some apples from an orchard near her house and they were much better than these.

 This is the wreath on our front door. I got this for a dollar at a sale once. Wish I had some more of these nice fake things...they last ! LOL

  The is a tree in town on one of my walks. I just love seeing trees that seem to have the perfect color.

I love this tree also. This morning is cooler, or should I say colder than yesterday. It's 40 degrees this morning. Ted turned the furnace on, saying he was just too cold. I am not ready to have the heat on. I love not using heat or AC.....don't you. I love the windows open and sweet breezes. Too much of a breeze this morning.
  Enjoy your Sunday. XO

Saturday Morning Chills....

 This morning it's 45 degrees....it feels very chilly. So a nice warm cup of coffee is hitting the spot.

 Yes, it's harvest time in our area. Some soybeans and corn have been  harvested lately. One nearby field has already been plowed for next spring.

 Trees are turning , and losing leaves with the rain and wind we have had the past two days. So I'd say we are well into autumn. Just hoping there's no early winter.

 I love this scene out our dining room window.  I have noticed a slow down in the birds coming around. It's time to bring in the hummingbird feeders.

I love seeing all the pretty colors of fall. The flowers and trees. Hope all of you are enjoying the beauty also.  May need a sweater for going out. XO

Friday Left Overs....

 These wheat  bundles are actually wheat wrapped around some Styrofoam tubes. Don't you love all the little bottles? These are left over photos from Horton's Artisan Market.

 Mercury glass candle holders and jars. Little burlap bags printed with dream and love, embellished with lace and buttons.

 Candles, teacups, creamers and potholders, in these little cupboards.  I saw lots of adorned clothespins for hanging this to make banners. Cute idea.

This little rocking horse was cute and they had a few of those. I did see one large one also. I love the wire cloche and the ceramic birds. With these displays, I could see where you could change the seasonal colors out and keep the same things you love .
  Hope everyone has a great Friday. We are in for a cool down this evening. Sweater weather. XO

More Decorating.....

  I have these 3 painted wooden pumpkins, one dotted, one striped , and one checked. I put the little owl from last year, with them.

 I kept the white pitcher and jar with the hydrangea blooms and added an owl on a pick. Plus the pumpkin I have had for many years. these things are on either side of our clock that sits on the mantle.

 These are those burlap leaves from Horton's store. They are on a shelf in the dining room.

  Here's a couple left-over photos from Horton's. These windows were 25-30 dollars each.

 I took this picture of all the doors for Kris, the queen of recycling doors. They lean against the greenhouse wall. In every kind of shape. Shutters also.  I even like to look at them and think of the possibilities.
 Today is trying to be pretty, but the forecast is rain coming our way. I wish you a sunny day.  XO

Porch Decor....

   You can see I have been collecting the pine cones .This year there seems to be plenty and in the best shape.  This little letter box , I have had for some years now. I decided to leave the shutters leaning against the wall. I clipped on the mail flag, one of the clothespin/felt  blackbirds that Emma  and I made last year .

  I have a dish of pine cones mixed in with the gourds and pumpkins. My ceramic chicken and a wooden pumpkin with black bird cutout .

 Here is where I put the plant, into this container that I left the dusty miller in and pulled the petunias out .  Also added some marigolds from a garden patch.

 Filled this containers with the marigolds . Looks like I need something in the chicken pot .

 I just took a photo of this bouquet I made with my last two hydrangea blooms and some orange and pink mums. I put them in an old milk bottle.
  Ted and I need to restain and seal on porch flooring. So if it doesn't rain Thursday, we will power wash the floor to get it ready for stain. As you all know, there is always something that needs done.
   Hope you have a sunny day, hard to believe it's October already. :)  XO
