The Color of Pumpkins

I couldn't resist buying these mini-pumpkins, I saw in the produce department, of the the grocery store.

While everything continues to be stacked in plastic containers, from the recent move, it almost seems absurd to be thinking about decorating.

To help keep my sanity, I have cleared one spot, in each room. I think of it as a "vignette of what is to come".

Even outside on the the porch, I have washed the windows. Look how clean....the reflections of my driveway.

Add a little fall color to the chair cushions....and it is beginning to feel like home !

Yipee!.....First Signs of Fall Foliage

At first glance, looking out my upstairs window, I thought it was a red bird. Usually, I see an all over effect of the leaves changing in color. As it gets cooler, the tree will become a spectacular display of red.

The Chinese Tallow Tree is listed in Texas, as an invasive plant. It is also illegal to sell in nurseries in my State. Everywhere the seeds fall, little trees will sprout up, reaching 10' in just a few years.

I'm just hoping this is a sign that cooler weather is on it's way......
