FALL Has Arrived!

I just can't wait any longer.

Patience is not the virtue I have.

If you know me then you are aware that I have been known to sneak under the Christmas tree and open my presents to see what is hidden behind that wrapped package.

I can't wait!

You don't have to tell me,

I already know...

it's rude!

It gets worse,

I have been known to open others gifts as well.

The suspense kills me.

Are you shocked?

Don't be, because it gets even worse!

My brother and his wife left all their wedding gifts unwrapped. They went on their honeymoon.

They left town!

What was I supposed to do?

In all fairness,

I did call them and describe in detail the vases, 

towels, kitchen appliances, etc.

I'm not proud.

With this questionable personality that I do possess,

you can see how waiting until September 22 

is just not possible.

Getting started is the hard part.

Once I started dragging the containers

 out from the basement,

I got pure happy!

I got the banner from Hobby Lobby.

Go get one because everyone needs at least one banner.

Don't ask why

I keep a basket on the hearth 

with deer antlers and skulls.

I just like it.

I added some Fall leaves and 

viola! 

My mantle leaves much to be desired.

I haven't quite figured out why to do with it.

I'll give you an update if it gets better.

I strung a vine of pumpkins on the filing cabinet.

I threw some Fall leaves on my Fall tree.

I draped Fall vines over every doorway.

This pitifully over-exposed photo shows my kitchen table.

I combined sticks from my yard 

and some Fall leaves and picks that I had.

I am simmering all my cinnamon melts.

I turned the air down.

I'm sipping my pumpkin latte.

Life is good!

I'm not quite brave enough to put the Fall wreath on the front door but it's coming soon.

Happy Fall!
