Our Viking Rhone River Cruise: Exploring Lyon
23 hours ago
Fall is my favorite time of year! I am so excited about being able to decorate soon. I only wish it was sooner. I am ready for fall now. The kids are riding the big, yellow bus to school. I remember when I was little, it was starting to get chilly and we would wear sweaters and sweatshirts. Here in the south, it is still in the low to mid 90's. What I would give to be able to start up the fireplace right now!! Which reminds me.... I need to make my order of wood. Seeing a neatly stacked woodpile just makes me so very happy. This will be the first year I plan on having a woodpile. Last year we just bought it as we needed it... which cost more than it should have. I am not too sure on how to do it or what is truly required (there are lots of things that would be nice but are not really necessary...). If anyone out there has any great info on that, I would be ever so grateful. I know I haven't been around much lately, but that is mostly because I have 5 kids, went to California for a week and had three to get ready for school (started this past Monday.). With only two at home now, it should be a little easier. Of course, the two remaining are three and 11 months, so maybe I am just wishfully thinking... but it has been more relaxed and quiet so I think it should be just fine. Are any of you out there excited about the coming fall season? Is anyone else as nutty as me for beginning the plans for all the plantings and indoor/outdoor decor for the season? I can't wait!! Oh for a chilly night where I could make hot chocolate and sit in front of the fire. Soon... I can't wait!! :)

Oh, and I LOVE the picture of the yellow house. That would be pretty close to the house I really want to have someday!
Hugs!

Mixed emotions about the start of fall this year. It has been such an overcast, wet and cooler spring and summer in the northeast that I feel like we had a very minimal summer season. I am hoping fall will be wonderful!!

Kelly me too! I love all the warm colors to decorate with for Fall.
Thanks for the sweet words on our garagew floor. You're right. I have always told my hubby if we had children how different our garage would look.

I love this post. I tolerate summer only because I know fall is next!!!
I bought some fall decorations at TJ Maxx today. I'll probably show them off next Monday.
We lived in CA for 4 years and you're right - no comparison with their dry heat and our humidified heat!!! Glad you came by.

Like you, I can hardly wait for cooler weather and watching the trees turn color. Fall has always been "my" time of the year. Love that pic of the house!

Fall, hmmm I am in MA and it is and has been in the 90's here too. I started to pull some fall stuff out, but darn I think I need to wait until Sept 1st and hope for some crisp air.
What color is the red door in your post I love it! Is it from last year or have you already started??

You have the cutest little house that I have ever seen! I'm sorry for creating an obsession with your daughter for "jazzed up" school supplies. I guess it could be worse right? Thanks so much for visiting!

Yes! Fall sounds great right now. As hot as it has been here, 95 degrees sounds nice! These triple digits are killing me!
