Autumn

“For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together.  For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad.” --Edwin Way Teale

Autumn is here! Time to decorate. . . .Here are some tips for keeping it simple. 

Take a trip to a local crafting store to find good deals on various décor for your home. Most stores carry garlands, wreaths, flower arrangements, and other cutesy items. Use a variety of colors to brighten your home.

Another tip is to take a leisurely walk through the woods and collect various leaves. Later, you can make your own arrangements to decorate your home

Either way you choose to acquire these items, enjoy autumn and the time you spend decorating your home.   

After your home is ready for the season you may enjoy some of these great autumn themed books: Mary Engelbreit's Autumn Craft Book, Autumn Gatherings: Casual Food to Enjoy With Family and Friends,  Autumn in Scotland, and Autumn Dreams.
