CheriALL THINGS HOME, DECORATING

Last weekend we accomplished more than I expected to, but less than I wanted to.  Does that even make sense?  My weekend to-do lists are always lofty, and rarely completed, but most of that is my fault for procrastinating or lingering too long over morning coffee with Kirk.   We know how to drag out the morning coffee I’ll tell you.

One thing on my list for the weekend was to spruce up the front entry.  Sweep the gathered leaves, get rid of sad summer plants that didn’t survive our frost, and set out the freshly picked pumpkins from our garden.

Since the list also included trimming some Red Twig Dogwood that “volunteered” in our flower bed, I cut some branches and added some hydrangea and plopped them in a pot of water by the front door.  I love the berries on the dogwood branches!

Plopped a few branches in some old watering cans too …

I’ll never grow tired of these cuties …

Snuggled a few pumpkins among the sweet potato vine 

The lantern looks nice all summer by the grasses, but in the fall, it looks the best!

Nothing like a picture to give me more ideas…
Still might do some more tweaking …
Rarely does Halloween decorating creep into my fall schemes.
A little editing fun is enough for me!

Do you decorate outdoors for fall?
