I love summer. I love the warm weather, the beautiful gardens, vacations, barbeques, picnics, the sound of kids playing outside. Having said that, I also love love fall. Fall…oh beautiful fall. I love everything about fall. The gardens are still beautiful, the changing leaves, the colors, the food, sweaters, pumpkins….everything. So every August I spend a little time getting things ready to decorate my home for the fall season. This morning I spent some time making a wreath that can hang on my front door to welcome in the season. I started with a pre made wreath I found at Hobby Lobby. This was a very cost effective option because…

We have lived in this house now for ten years. I have read that most gardens take ten years to really start looking established. I have found that to be very true. I can’t believe this is what we had just a few years ago. When we bought this house, the backyard was just dirt and weeds. I has taken a lot of vision to make it what it is today, and we still aren’t done imagining. That is why gardening is so fun! It is ever evolving and changing. I went out and took some pictures of the gardens this morning after watering. Enjoy!
