Fall Season Home Decor

Even though the fall season doesn’t begin until the end of September I am waving goodbye to summer and looking forward to fall outdoor projects and indoor fall season home decorating.

 

The summer was extremely hot and it prevented us from spending any time outdoors.  And now the days are still hot but the nights are so cool that I had to add a fleece blanket to the bed.  Then today I saw that the leaves from the oak and maple trees are falling  and this is a sign that summer is over and that fall season is coming soon.

 

I normally decorate my home with pumpkin and colorful fall season maple leaves and will shop for new product designs that will compliment my décor scheme.  In the past I bought a pumpkin and sunflower table runner from Zazzle and some sunflower coffee mugs.  I like to add sunflowers to my fall decorations since they do  add  cheerful color and look nice with the colors orange and brown.

 

Here is a photo that I took of my table runner.  I set it on top of my buffet this year and thought it was complimentary.  It added the right enough of seasonal color to my dining area.

Fall Season Came Early This Year

I had a feeling that our fall season would come early this year because our August weather was 20 degrees cooler than normal. In fact, there were a few nights in August that were cold. When the temperature dipped into the low 50's in August it felt more like early fall. Then came September and the weather was cooler than usual. Fall has come very early this year and with the season change, there is more work to do and less time to enjoy my yard and garden.

Today I spent most of the day outdoors doing what I can to manicure the yard and gardens before this week's cold weather forecast. I made a point to remove the fallen leaves from my irises and to cut back annual plants that have started to die.

The four O clock flowers have gone to seed and gathered the seeds for winter storage. 

 Now that the fall season is here I am thinking more about decorating my porch and updating the planters with hardy flowers like pansies and kale. I think tomorrow I will go to the pumpkin patch and see about buying a few nicely shaped pumpkin. I will also head over to Lowes garden center and buy a few potted Chrysanthemums for lawn decorations.
