Officially, the calendar still says "summer".
The weather outside screams "hot and humid".
The flowers in my pots are tired and spent, ready to trade places with mums from my favorite local nursery (I prefer the rust and maroon...what about you?).
I had the house to myself yesterday. I couldn't wait one more day...I headed downstairs, braved the spiders in the storage room, and got out the containers brimming full of fall decor.
I scattered pumpkins and leaves and spiced candles all around, from the entryway to the kitchen, the living room to the guest bath. I got out my favorite fragrances from Bath and Body Works:
As long as I don't step foot outside into the sweltering heat, I can convince myself that fall is here!
When do you decorate for fall? Is it still hot where you live? And have you ever tried pumpkin chili?

I love decorating my house in fall goodies... but right now, I still feel like we're in the middle of summer - UGH!
I think Fall is going to be ugly this year :(
My husband gets a little cranky if I pull out the fall stuff too soon but I've been quietly pulling out a few things. A candle here...a bowl there. :) I got a fake pumpkin at Michael's the other day and Dominic has been playing with it ever since. I think I might "accidentally find" the fall decorations while "cleaning the closet" this weekend. LOL.
I love pumpkin but I'm not so sure about the pumpkin chili. :-)
I think fall is my favorite time of year. When the weather cools just a bit, I find myself wanted to cook things with pumpkins and squash and make hearty soups. This year, pinterest has inspired me to make a fall wreath. So ready. . .
