What exactly is fall? Being my favorite season, I decided to look it up and see how Mr. Webster defines it. Flipping to fall I found autumn, OK, turning to that it reads, autumn, the season that comes between summer and winter. Well, thats pretty cut and dry and I think most of us already know that, so here is my interpretation.Autumn; cool days leading into brisk nights. Fresh picked apples, leaves ablaze with color, pumpkins, gourds, Halloween, Thanksgiving and a brand new opportunity to decorate your home. Im not sure about you, but one of the reasons I love the fall is with the cooler temperatures, I seem to have a renewed energy level. Daily activities are suddenly not such an effort. Think about the things you can do with this newfound energy. Giving your home a good cleaning (after all who wants to do that when its 90 and the humidity level is so high it feels like it could rain inside your home), sorting through and discarding unwanted items in closets, drawers and cupboards. Admiring mother natures magnificent color show while taking walks with the family or a favorite four-legged fur baby. As mentioned above, this is also an opportunity for change in your homes décor. Now Im not talking about a complete redo, just adding accessories that are fall related is all thats needed.Add some warm throws over the back or arms of the furniture, change out the accent pillows to something with a fall print or warmer colors, even just one or two pillows can make a difference.Swap out summer flower arrangements for new ones that have a fall theme. Take a walk around your yard or in a neighborhood park or state forest and look for things to use, like unusual shaped twigs, pinecones, acorns and seedpods. Mixing these with store bought silk mums, preserved leaves or cat -o-nine tails in any type of container you may have will give a fall look to any surface. Hang a grapevine wreath adorned with colorful mums on your door, or how about using the wreath as a centerpiece. Lay it in the middle of any table and place a ceramic or even real pumpkin in the middle.Speaking of pumpkins, purchase a few (real or not) and spread them around your home both inside and out. Combine them with colorful gourds and apples in containers and they really look festive. Take a look around local discount and craft stores for artificial fruit.. The advantage to these is once this season has passed they can be packed away until needed again next year, so this makes for a very economical investment.Scent is another indication of the fall season. Candles and potpourri in fall fragrances like pumpkin; spiced apple or cider will make walking into your home a wonderful experience. Below are a couple of favorites of mine.Potpourri - Natures Own Potpourri, located in Tennessee, I have used many different brands and this is by far the best. Some of my favorite scents are: Apple Tree, American Harvest & Country Retreat.Candles Village Candle Factory Store, located in Topsham Maine. Ive been burning candles for many years and these are in my opinion the best. As for the smell, well all I can say is yummmmm. My favorites consist of: Crisp Apple, Spiced Pumpkin, Mulled Cider & Gingerbread. How ever you decide to celebrate and decorate for fall, stay warm, get comfortable and settle in while you wait for the next season to visit. This article is shareware.
