The Witch and The Pumpkin Brigade

 Tomorrow is September 1st and it is official Fall decorating time.  I asked the old witch to assemble her minions and help me out.

 This year I've decided to decorate my back yard with all of my blow molds.  I've bought each of these blow molds (except the witch) at thrift stores and have not paid more than 4.99 each.  Most cost 2.99.  Teddy is very suspicious of this group.


 Time to clean up the potting bench and transform it for Fall.

 The Fall Flowering Clematis is just beginning to bloom.


 My okra is still producing.

 The Oakleaf Hydrangeas have turned brown.  A sure sign that Fall is close.

 The dogwoods are dropping their seeds.

 The pool will be closed next week.

 And it is official, my neighbor definitely killed my Silver Maple.  It has to come out next spring.

 I bought some printed burlap and I am making pillows for the front porch.

And a witch, black cats, cauldrons and pumpkins are out. Let the games begin!

Too bad about that silver maple! He must have removed way too many roots.

I can't have any things standing in my garden, Sune and Nova wouldn't stop in time when they are chasing each other and the two old ones wouldn't care, if they want to pass even if it's impossible they would just keep on trying until everything were broken :-)

Have a great day!

Living in CA, I'm envious. Fall is my favorite time of year and I'm a nut over Halloween but we really don't have a fall here. Our summers in No CA are unreliable, mostly cool, sometimes rainy. We are just now getting to summer over here and our tomatoes are just now starting to ripen. We start fall mid November, barely and then go straight into cold rain.
