Why Is It Raining in the House? Weekend Recap

Guten Morgan this fine Monday.  I hope your weekend was a bitchin one and you're ready for a short week.  (Or maybe you pup owners are breaking out the Thunder shirts in anticipation of the people who are going to be setting off fireworks for the next seven days.  I know we always have people setting them off at random usually starting tonight.  I do actually miss sparklers from when I was a kid and conducting a symphony to make shapes in the air burned into your vision.)  Friday was exhausting y'all.  I had to get some worm spray for a looper worm infestation on my brassicas (who the hell am I??) and whilst poking around the nursery with lightning and looming thunder Thursday night, I spotted a flat of begonias marked down to $10.  Given my zinnias couldn't stay in the long planters because they need sun, I had to relent and buy the begonias.  Anything to block the sea hag from peeking over.   So Friday morning I got to work picking of...

Your outdoor décor right now this year:

Halloween-ish
Autumn theme
Do dead flowers count?

Do dead flowers count?  Sadly, this year I have nothing up.  My vintage Beistle paper decorations got pretty fried in the sun last year so I need to dig them out and put them on the inside of the door for the Mr and I to enjoy.  We never get any trick or treaters, no one is coming over and it's still 80+ friggin' degrees, so why bother?  I'll just wait for Christmas to make an impression.

How about you?  Halloween-ish. Autumn theme, or do dead flowers count?

  1. Well we had a real spider web but I took that down yesterday so I guess we are not decorated for Halloween at all now.

  2. I hung a banner from the Dollar Tree on the front door, haven't even dug out my actual fall decorations.

  3. That door picture is so pretty!

    I decorate for all the major holidays, year round. I have set places I rotate things in the house. I have set days it goes up and cones down. So it is a very quick process. I switched to a 5’ tree, so even Xmas is easy.

    It is all stored in easy to find/use way. Everything has a set spot, no thinking required.

    My biggest help - I went thru everything years ago and only saved what I love. And I made myself a promise - if I don’t use it, I have to get rid of it.

  4. The door is pretty but mostly I see a trip hazard! But I'm a klutz and likely to knock over anything in my path ;)

    As per usual, I have grand decorating plans for Halloween and have yet to execute any. I usually get something up by trick or treat weekend. I did manage to plant most of the mums I buy annually from my friends hometown farmers guild. Those usually stay in their pots clustered in one of the beds. I really want to do some sort of tentacle thing coming out of the ground but haven't gotten farther than a supply list.

  5. Dead flowers definitely count. I have a Pennywise doormat that I just bought, I have ripe tomatoes to pick, and one of my rosebushes looks like it's going to bloom one more time this year. That's about as decorated as I'm going to be, a mix of Halloween and clinging onto the tail end of summer. As much as I love Halloween, I don't do much in the way of decorating - because I'm lazy and I'm bad at it and I don't want to have to take it down after the holiday.
