I can’t believe that this Tuesday is already the first day of fall! It certainly doesn’t feel like fall yet, but, I decided to go ahead and start adding some fall touches around the house.
That is a pretty good start for now. I find myself adding things all season. I love getting ready for fall. It is just a nice quiet peaceful time before the business of Christmas.
I’ve gotten out my apple and spice scented candles and will be putting out the fall decor on the front door soon. Then . . . I get to start thinking about the dining table! That is always fun. So, here’s to Autumn!
Happy Fall Y’all!
See what others are up to in their homes on this Met Monday with Susan.
