yesterday was the perfect day for a little sprucing up aroung the house.
john has been busy outside, trimming the bushes, putting down new mulch.
while i was busy adding some fall to our front porch.
mostly big mums and lots of corn stalks.
i love the look of fresh mulch.
and of course you all know how i feel about fall.
it was a lovely fall day to be outside.
but i couldn't stay outside for too long.
i had the itch to change up our fireplace mantel.
when i started going through the fall bins in the garage, i came across a bunch of dollar store goodies from last year.
black crows, styrofoam tombstones, a little spider webbing and a couple of spider rings.
josh and anna think it looks spooky.
i think i like it, but i'm not so sure about those creepy crawly spiders.
they keep staring at me...
i got a letter in the mail that our united veterans group is doing a donation collection on our street next week.
i've been looking for an excuse to clear out even more of my JUNK.
so, tomorrow's big project--cleaning out my bedroom closet.
if you don't hear from me for a few days, you'll know why.
