cooler temps means good things are here...

like decorating the house in all the cozy colors of fall... I love the evenings when I can open the windows, light a yummy pumpkin spice candle, and curl up on the couch

i did't get a jump on Christmas... this JOY stays up all year long... as little reminder to keep our house full of it..LOL

made this plate last year in MOPS(mothers of preschoolers).... it says.. enjoy the simple things in life..

two of the ten mums I planted last weekend. My mom surprised me with 5 little shrubs/trees that she got major deals on.. funny, I went to turn the front porch lights out around midnight last night, and noticed they were all sitting on my front porch.. along with several bags of bulbs..

I know what I'll be doing in the next few days...

and this guy always comes out around this time...

not sure I like this display... I may have to head to Hobby Lobby this weekend, to spruce it up a bit

and what is fall with out FOOTBALL......

we are BIG time fans around here... college and pro(though I don't get into the pros as much as Andrew)

Purdue whooped up on N. Colorado at the season opener on Saturday.. and the Bronchos won last night!

I am sorry for all you fans of blue and white...... maybe its just not your year....

this cheerleader certianly knew how to ham it up for the camera. there was no prompting!
