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


The Mexican petunia bush is still showing off.

A little like fall!



      The temps. are a little less harsh lately and there's a crispness in the air during the evening and early mornings. I love it! Last year, the temps were up to 100 everyday in Sept. so I am really enjoying the weather this year. It was even cloudy a couple of days, but today was beautiful and sunny, and quite hot in the sun.

The leaves in the back are a lighter green.

The leaves on the mountain haven't changed yet.




      I got to work on the little dress yesterday. I made my own bias tape and you can tell it too! But, it's under the arm so maybe it won't show that much.

     Here are some items I got at yard sales today. The weather makes for 
better junkin!


Look at this beautiful jar of homemade brown sugar!
