Fall Wreath

I've had this wreath for a long time.

Each year I bring it out to hang on the front door

and each year I don't.

It has this ugly green plastic

you would see every time from the side

when opening the door.

So I grabbed some ribbon.

I turned the wreath over

and wrapped the ribbon around the

wreath to hide the gross green plastic.

It turned out pretty good,

if I say so myself.

Love it on the front door and

no more green plastic from the side.

But now I can't close the screen door

because the wreath is too thick.

Bummer!

Looks like this wreath is getting

packed up again.

My Late Halloween Post

Yes, I know Halloween is over,

and it's been over for a while.

This year I tried really hard to talk the kids

into skipping Halloween.

I promised to get them their

favorite candy and we would

watch a movie and pretend that

we were not home.

Somehow three days before Halloween

they turned against me.

So....

We got some candy and got out the fog machine...

And the kids had fun handy out the candy.

The day before Middlest did

"Trick or Treat for Education"

with her friends

to earn money for her Washington trip.

They were the Three Blind Mice.

Bonus blast from the past...

An even older picture of Oldest and Middlest,

before Youngest was even born.

Look close and you will see that Middlest

is playing with scissors I left on the steps.

Hey, at least she is not running with them.

Fall

Yesterday was the first day of Fall,

and it was BEAUTIFUL!

I love Fall.

I love the crisp air and the beautiful colors.

It makes me want to take a scenic drive in the county

Fall makes me want to pull on my favorite sweater and jeans,

slip on some leather boots and take a walk in the leaves,

and hear them crunch under my steps.

Fall makes me want to put away the "summer"

and bring out the "fall" in the house.

Fall makes me want to gather the family,

a plaid blanket and have a picnic outside.

Maybe with some hot cider or hot chocolate.

I suggest you do the same

and have a blessed and thankful Fall.
