AWB BLOGtober Fest: Decorating for Fall

I love fall mums and I have a fun time picking out my yearly plant in late September or early October. Pulling into the driveway on a cool Fall day is always so pleasant when you're greeted with the bright colors of these huge, hardy mums that decorate our multi-level deck.

With a few props pulled from our stored Halloween decorations and some from craft room supplies I can usually put together a cute Autumnal vignette somewhere in the yard {the yard being the two-foot section down at the gate where I'll actually step foot.  Long story, for another time ;)}.

This year's beauty is smaller than the previous years but the golden yellow adds a bit of sunshine like color to even the dreariest of days.  I. Love. It.  It's a tradition that will continue year after year.

This week I'm linking up to BLOGtober Fest over at Arkansas Women Bloggers.  Head on over for some fun Autumn/Halloween posts by some of my favorite bloggers from my adopted state.  Be sure to comment and let 'em know I sent you over.

Happy Fall, y'all!
