FRUSTRATING FABULOUS FALL

Autumn is my favorite season, but it is also one of the most frustrating seasons for me because my husband and I are always in transition, either from traveling or packing up one house and moving and opening up the other.

I desperately want to buy chrysanthemums for my Minnesota home's steps and Mums and ornamental Kale for my planter, but according to my husband, is a waste of money.

When I close up our Minnesota home and open up the Arizona one, I dash to the grocery stores and our big box stores that carry plants.  But no one carries Mums or Kale when I want them!  After leaving fall behind in Minnesota, I want to see some fall in Arizona!

This year, I am taking a buying excursion to the wholesale fresh flower market!

I love purple plants in the fall!

I also love bittersweet.  I have to be content with artificial bittersweet now that we live in the city.


Here are a few of my inspiration ideas from Pinterest:

Happy Autumn!

ADVANCING INTO AUTUMN

I love autumn!  I especially love the month of October with all the orange and red leaves, pumpkins and bittersweet, but the Midwest is not there yet.  You can tell it is on it's way, though, because the green trees have a yellowish tint.  The soybean fields in Iowa and Minnesota are bright yellow and the corn is turning from greens to brown.

Here are a few images from Pinterest that remind me of September.
