I did it!!

Ok, so I got my grandsons down yesterday, and they helped me swap out summer decor for fall. It was so exciting to get it all in place! Fall is my favorite season!❤️. So I decorated all of the inside of our home, and will do the outside the last week of this month. It sure provided a cozy atmosphere. Lots of VPH, and other decor from QVC. And my favorite piece is a large (ish) canvas from Kirklands hanging in the living room that shows an old front porch with an old rocker and a rickety wheelbarrow filled with pumpkins and fall leaves. Done and done!!

I love summer too much to look forward to fall.

I couldn't imagine a fall theme going now. And I do have decor for fall.

But I don't even want to think about it for about 2 1/2 more months. Just wouldn't be right!

I'll be on the beach and in the water for another 7/8 weeks!

I'm hoping it gets cool enough to get to the Pool, before it closes.

Altho, once Autumn hits, Autumn seems to go really, really F-A-S-T!!

Sounds so nice!

I'll still be in summer mode until I get back from my upcoming vacation, but I plan on putting out my fall decor when I get back. I usually wait until labor day weekend, but I'm kind of getting the itch to start sooner. Fall is my favorite season to decorate for, so I like to enjoy it for as long as possible before the Christmas decorating begins.

Geez it's 8-7, no where near being Fall. I hate Fall, Summer girl here all the way! In fact, we're going boating today! Let the heat and humidity reign! Yippee. JMO

@ID2 - I'm not one to rush the seasons away. I'm enjoying the green grass and flowers. Not looking forward to the dullness of winter.

Sounds great, and I'm sure your grandsons had a good time helping you! I love to hear about people decorating for fall because it seems that so many overlook it and jump straight to Christmas. (Not a criticism, just an observation...) Anyway, enjoy your fall decor!!

Grandkids are handy little critters aren't they! Glad you have nice ones who help out. Was a treat on offer? Silly question right 😍

@susankate, fall is my favorite season. I love decorating with fall decor, will put wreath on door first and then do inside of house. I see no reason to postpone what we enjoy! I do not look forward to winter so want to love every minute of fall.

I am ready to fall along with you!!

My grandchildren started school on Monday this week so our summer other than heat is over.

I despise summer. I have lived in the south all of my life. I can't take the heat and I avoid the sun like the plague because of skin cancer. I have had 6. I would love to think that come September the heat would be gone and we would have spectacular fall colors. But usually in North Georgia this comes in mid October. Fall is my favorite time of year. I think mother nature shows her most vibrant colors in the fall. Looking forward to Valerie's harvest show this weekend.
