Is It Fall Yet?

Is it Fall Yet? I can’t wait, so  I purchased some outdoor furniture covers for the patio and then started my decorations early. I like to create little “vignettes” with some of my favorite junk. This old black bicycle sat under a tree all summer with nothing on it, just waiting for me to dress it up. You can take a piece like this and use it seasonally. I found this scarecrow at Old Time Pottery in Murfressboro, Tennessee when I went up to take some of my Gardenchick products up for my friend Shawn’s monthly Studio Thursday. I always stop there since it is about an hour and a half drive from home. They had the scarecrow on sale (of course, I am cheap), and the sign I got from Shawn last year. My new sign from her says Boo! Ya’ll and will go on the bike at Halloween along with a pumpkin added to the scarecrow. Add a Turkey or Pilgrims for Thanksgiving, and a Christmas Sign for Christmas along with Christmas Yard Art and some presents in the basket. I found a spring sign I purchased from Shawn last year in the closet while “organizing” last week, and it will be perfect for spring. It is bright pink with black writing and says “Please Be Seeded”. I want to get ivy started around the tree and purchased a pot at a local nursery. After dividing it into three pieces, I planted it in this area and covered with tree mulch. Yard art can be fun. Just pick up one piece and decorate around it all year long.

    Wow, I didn’t even know I was nominated! There are so many great blogs out there. I could spend all day going from one to another. I need to get blogging again there is so much we could be doing in the garden. Days of rain here. Our county was declared a disaster area! We are okay but many people are just now drying out.
    Thanks Cherry and NellJean for your comments
