What's A Girl To~Do?

A list...that's what she is to do....and what kind of list you ask....isn't it obvious?...a To~Do list, of course....silly you.

Soooo, I got the {Fall} bug....I got it real bad! So today I put a few tid~bits, just a few, here and there....tried to show some restraint...those of you that know me, know that ain't easy. So I thought it might be fun to make a Fall To~Do List....and if I share my list....then in friendly blog~etiquette, please share yours.

Fall To~Do List

Be on the lookout for bins of pumpkins in front of grocery stores ~ I love when those bins change from being filled with watermelons to beloved large orange, white, bumpy green squash {the bumpy green ones are my favorite}

Glean Christmas cards early and start addressing them now ~ before the insanity begins!

Fill the base of the topiaries on the front porch with green apples and change to jack~be~littles when they come into season

In fact, fill every bowl and basket and bucket and tray around the house with green apples

Listen to the best harvest~y CD on the planet, for that matter...the whole universe...called: Oktober County ~ by: Neal Hellman....check it out on Amazon.com

Hang harvest corn across window {like a wreath...I will post a photo when harvest corn is in the stores}...I love this...a lot!

Burn a harvest or apple or orange or pumpkin candle...burn it til the cows come home

Go for lots of walks and enjoy the new angle of the sun.....pure delight.....food for the soul....try it and see what I mean

Get busy on items for ETSY shop and the upcoming holiday bazaar

Call and reserve spot as vendor at said upcoming holiday bazaar

Clean out closet

Clean out pantry

Make lots of bread...with lots of soup...of course

And all the while be grateful for the renewing and soul~filling season

All of this joy to begin next week....but for now....we have school supplies to pack, hair to cut, bed~times to readjust, pencils to sharpen, Labor Day BBQ to prepare, a telethon to watch, a hurricane to pray about, and hoping that I lived~in~the~moment enough this summer.

It just fell from the sky....harvest love...

I heart checkerboard...but you already know that...

I heart harvest~y rooster~o~rama...yes, I know, we have established that fact...

I leave this rustic~y, branch~y, wreath~o~love up year round...

Never underestimate a dried~up hydrangea....

Those eggs have been in there since Easter....just add cones....voila Fall decor...

Contemplating Middle School...yikes!!!...Middle School!!!...my Baby!!!...

The good news is...she told me that she is excited for school....

Have a safe and happy holiday and please pray for our friends in the South as they weather yet another storm....God Speed.
