I guess for many it will be jumping the gun.  But, some do start around now, at least making a beginning.  If you decorate for fall, now or later, what are your thoughts about what you will do?

A bountiful mantel or other horizontal surface?

Or just a little shot of nature, like this wheat in copper pots?

A little still life--

Or pouring on the warmth and color--

Love this table setting with autumnal fruits, plaid cloth, bright flowers, and those cool, "faux bois" plates.  They're called "Ochre",  and out of my usual color preference, but love them here!

This home-made garland, and simple hurricane with pods, is so sweet, love.

So if you are thinking, or already doing,  'fall'

would enjoy hearing about it.

NO!!  It's not fall and it's still close to 100 here in Colorado.  Too soon.

@Oznell I love some of the decor.  Love the cute homemade garland and the front yard of the cottage.

As for decorating, I wait until October.  I add a few Halloween items but it's mostly autumn which carries me through to Thanksgiving weekend.

Nope. Pretty pics @Oznell I like the tablescape with the apples, particularly. I like subtle Fall, more than ORANGE PUMPKIN en masse! I like soft, fall hues more.

That said...no way, Jose'...it's summer still here in CT, until Sept. 22! My summer flowers still look nice. My summer decor is still inside, echoing the outside. And I live in a shoreline town...still beachy here. And I enjoy it 'til the bitter end, and want my home to reflect it.

When...things start to change outdoors, like 1st week of Oct...then I bring out some fall. I hate the rushing of any season. Even the ones I love....I let each run their course. That feels the best and the most right to me. But I read here all the time....everyone chomping at the bit in August to start Fall. It's just not me.

No, not yet; love the pictures though! Can't wait for this hot, muggy summer to be over....LOVE fall.

Not yet, but I have noticed a few neighbors changing out their front door wreaths. I might do that to lift my spirits, with the awful ongoing heat and drought, making me feel that fall is simply a figment of my imagination.

This morning I noticed the mist over the lake and leaves falling from the trees. 

Some vine maple are starting to turn color too.  

So, even though it is going to be 80 degrees here today, I think fall is on its way to the Seattle area.  

I truly love summer ... but the transition to fall always feels so heart-warming.  The fall leaves, the apple cider, the state fair.

@Oznell  Lovely pics! I took down my summer things earlier this week, and I brought up my door wreath and a few other things. The mornings have been fall-like here of late, and the leaves are starting to fall due to the drought. So, I'm going with it.
