Opening The Door

Just a crack...

mind you...

to the idea of

Fall.

It's easy to do

on sun shiny days

with temperatures hovering

around 80.

Pumpkins in planters...

(on the cheap @ Aldi for $2.49!)

An Autumn foliage wreath

hung from

my front door.

Apples in a basket...

placed on the earthy-colored

braided rug table runner.

Welcoming

Rich oranges...

warm golden yellows...

deep burgundy reds.

Baskets holding all

our cool weather friends.

Subtle changes in outer wear...

corduroy...fleece...

woolens.

Sneaking up on me...

almost without notice...

requiring a second layer

on these cool nights.

Trying to remember to

Count my blessings...

everyday.
