A Little Fall Decorating

WELCOME THROUGH MY RED DOOR!

Have I mentioned that I love fall?  You don’t need to be in a location where you experience the season to love it.                         It helps, but it’s not totally necessary.

            

                            I do happen to live in such a location, so I can see leaves turning their vibrant colors, most years!

   And I can smell the fireplaces burning in the neighborhood; not ours because we don’t have one. I can smell everyone else’s though!

                     But I just spent a week in New Mexico and Arizona where it still feels like what summer feels like to a lot of us and I realized you can still love fall even in such  places.

          

                            You may not experience fall outside the house, but you sure can create it inside.  Now keep in mind that I’ve not been in the Southwest in the fall until last week,

so I’m sure there are parts that are getting the same colorful, falling leaves, chilly temperatures and smoky fireplace scents that we get here.

As it got closer to the end of the week and time to come home, I wanted to stay longer, because I don’t look forward to the cold bitter winters anymore.

               When we considered whether we could live in retirement somewhere so different from where we are now, I thought about the falls I’d miss, especially when we were in the air and we could see below us that the leaves had turned so emphatically in the week we were gone!

Who knows if we ever would move there, but it’s good to know that we could still have some sort of fall, even if we created it ourselves.  Definitely doesn’t compare to the one God created, but thank goodness for ‘Michael’s’.  I saw a lot of them there!!!

Thank you for stopping by, I think I am going to mosey on over to Marti’s in Arizona for Tabletop Tuesday.  Come on over,  I don’t think she’d mind if I brought a few more.  I found the people there to be as warm as their climate!

                        

See you there!
