The weather is turning a bit cooler and the mums are blooming everywhere.  Even some of the trees are beginning to show signs of changing colors.  In other words, fall is here. Time to decorate for the season.

Michelle and I are planning a special weekend together.  First of all, we’re going to build a Scare Crow to put in the front yard.  With it I have a bail of straw that we’ll stick him into and put a beautiful mum on each side of him.  Mamaw grew some pumpkins in her garden so we’ll get a couple of them and put them in front of the bail of straw.

IF there are leaves falling, we’ll collect them and make a book of all the different leaves we find.  A more fall, we’ll keep collecting ones we don’t already have and colors of each we don’t have.  Then we’ll look up each type of leaf and label them so we can learn what the different trees are in our yard.  There’s a lot to learn about the different trees like which ones give off acorns or other types of nuts and seeds.

Halloween will be here before you know it so Michelle and I are going to take an old white sheet I have and make little ghosts to put in the dogwood tree when it gets closer to Halloween.  I don’t like putting out a bunch of ‘scary’ stuff but little ghosts aren’t what I call scary.  Anyway, we’re going to have a fun and relaxing weekend together, at home, this weekend.  Hope you have a good one too.
