So....I have finally done a little fall decorating outside of my home...not a ton..but some. I love fall decor....but I don't always get a ton out to decorate. Above is my arbor...with some leaves. And a mum...I love mums in the fall! ;) (And yes, yes....I know...all your gardners out there are probably horrified at my hosta bed....LOL....I weeded it in the summer...but then...I just kinda..um, let it go... ;o). I know, that is horrible. I am feeling bad...maybe I will go out and weed it after I am done posting....yes, yes, that's what I will do. Don't worry! hehe) I still have mulch to buy for the path there as well....but I do things as I can...when money and time permits!Below...a pic of the front door. Again...someday this will be changed....but for now, it's what we have...I can't stand the screen door thing with the glass in it....eww. BUT...it helps keep the schoolroom warmer in the winter. It blocks some of the wind and cold air. So for now..it stays.
A closer look at my primitive star on the door...and I have a fall swag around it as well for some extra "fall" detail! :)
And...my fall flag. I think it looks so pretty against the backdrop of all the gorgeous trees! :)
Nothing...and I mean NOTHING....can compete with the grandeur that God has decorated during this beautiful season. He is The Artist, The Creator. Seriously...what can compete with the beauty in the pics below?
A little fun out on the swing set...enjoying the comfortable fall air!
(See all that wood in the back right corner? Chris is working soo hard! :) .....
Chris...taking a much needed break after working hard on the platform that our outside wood burner will sit on......
Xavier loves playing amongst the trees we had to cut down to put the wood burner where we wanted it. Chris has been working at cutting them up! ......
I know..where is that kids shirt...right? LOL...luckily it isn't too chilly out today. It is gorgeous. And he runs around so much he gets overheated and takes it off. hehe!Well....that's all for now! I hope you all are having a lovely fall weekend and please enjoy a restful and wonderful Sabbath tomorrow! xoxo
Katy, I found your blog through Monica's Homespun Heart. I know her from church. I absolutely LOVE yours! I will be spending time there this weekend catching up. Although I don't homeschool, I love your school room. (I have been an English teacher for 20 years who wished she could have homeschooled!)
ReplyDeleteKids metabolism is so high, I am sure he was just fine out there. Mary over at Gettysburg Express got her wood burner delivered. There will be lots of smoke in the air in Oh and PA!!
ReplyDeletethanks for these beautiful pics! it's so warm here in jersey that just a few of the trees are beginning to change. i've been told that the peak won't come until the end of the month, and i've been totally missing the leaves of western pa!
ReplyDeleteYour pics are awesome. I love your decor, too! Very pretty! Your children always seems so content. ~Beth~
ReplyDeleteKaty,
ReplyDeleteYour fall decor looks great! I love all the fall foliage I see too! And that twig star on your door is cute!
I love a little boy that will work and play outside with no shirt! He's a true country boy!
