Happy Fall Y'all

Fall in our area is not super cold and leaves do not usually fall.  But, it is cooler and we are enjoying a reprieve from temperatures in the 80s, 90s, and 100 that we have endured for the past four months! The plants seem to enjoy cooler temperatures, too! We have also had a lot of extra rain this year, so that has helped everything bloom and grow lush foliage. Although we are not wearing sweat shirts and scarves yet, we are enjoying pumpkins and another beautiful season in 2015! 

A friend invited me to a "Do It Herself" workshop at Home Depot. We made these great pumpkin planters. Two of the workshop attendees won a completed project to take home.  My name was drawn! Woo hoo!

Here I am with my prize, and below is the pumpkin planter in our courtyard beside the front door. 

Happy Fall Y'all!!
