Falling for Fall!

      The weather around here is slowly changing; as are the leaves. It is a welcome sight! I thought we'd never experience Autumn like everywhere else! Slowly but surely it's creeping in. Just like the changes on my blog. I am slowly but surely finding out how to make changes here. Picmonkey is helping, but I have trouble figuring it out. Like I wanted to have the blog title above the header, but I was unable to get it to stay. I am so tech dumb. I don't like all the sitting I have to do to get what I want. But once I figure it out, I hope to do changes more often so I won't forget how so quickly. I'm also trying to figure out the Cameo. Finally, Randy discovered that I had opened the wrong setting. Now I just need to finish what I started there. But not until I finish here. 

      We finally finished the flower beds we've been working for days on. I wouldn't work there when the temps were above the 70's. It get full sun all day and is very hot. The results are quite nice. The mums will fill in by Thanksgiving, I think. The irises and other bulbs we took out will be placed in another bed. There are changes going on around here all the time! I like that though, and wouldn't have it any other way! I truly want to write posts more often. They will come! Thanks for hanging in here while things are changing! Blessings from Bama!

My newest wreath. It's on Craigslist, but no one has called.

My other new wreath. Yet no one has called.

The leaves across the road are slowly changing.

The mums in the pots are finally blooming.

The side flower bed.

The front flower bed. Bulbs and a rosebush along with many weeds and grass have been removed.


The Mexican petunia bush is still showing off.

  1. Hi Bama Girl! You really must have been putting in some work on the new look here! Well Done! I've been considering starting up a blog, but it looks so overwhelming! Don't know how I would even start!
    Beautiful pics! The flower beds look very nice and very snake-visible, as in, you can see them without the brush to hide them while they are "seeing" you!
    Hope you have a lovely Autumn! Hugs! Cheeryshirley

    1. Awe, thanks, Cheeryshirley! It's really not hard to start a blog, just go to blogger and follow directions. I really wished you would so I could read and follow you!
      I just hope we don't get copperheads as they will blend in with the pinestraw! The flowers will bloom and grow soon. I will take photos of it again in a few weeks. Thank you! Blessings!

  4. Your place must look so pretty! Good luck on selling the wreaths. Our daughter-in-law made wreaths but was not successful at selling them. It takes so much time to figure the tech stuff out. It is faster to ask my hubby! LOL Nancy

    1. Hi Nancy! It is starting to look much better, thank you! I don't know what it takes to sell things. I need a booth of some sort. Ok, ask him for me lol! I will eventually get it 'figured out'! Blessings!
