Getting Ready For Fall

Started taking out my fall decor...the weather is also unusually cool here. Makes you want to sip some apple cider and sit by a fire. I will wait to put out Halloween and Thanksgiving things. Right now it's just some leaves and pumpkins.

Cleaning Up the Family Room

Today I washed floors and tidied up my family room. I am thinking about starting to take out some fall decor. Am I too early? All that stuff makes my home seem cozier. I love fall colors! Are you decorating for fall yet? (Plus the cooler weather is also prompting my mood!)

First Day of School!

The girls started school today! Brittany is in Middle School now (6th grade), Bridget (3rd grade), Maddie (1st grade) and Elizabeth (preschool). They were all very excited! So was Mom! Ha! Ha!

A Local Garden Tour

These homes inspire me...I'm sure there are a few I forgot about but I thought you'd enjoy a few pictures of the gardens around here that I just love to admire! Enjoy!

So pretty!

Love the porch on this one.

Isn't this cute? At night it's all lit up and so inviting.

Whoever lives here is a Master Gardener! It's fantastic!

So colorful!

This one got an award from the city last year. I can see why!

Another neat one.

Oooh La La!

So charming!

One of my all time favorites! I want my ivy to grow like hers!

Summertime Flowers at the Bungalow

Just a few snapshots of my front yard...soon the weather will change and all my pretty flowers will take a long rest until next April when I will start to see them again. This weekend will start to feel like Fall - cooler temperatures, football games starting, and the kids start school Tuesday!
