If you follow my friend Lynne's blog,
Irish Garden House, you already learned that she took me to her "secret" spot and we picked wild bittersweet vine! What a treat! We filled the trunk of my care and divided it up. I did some decorating around the house and yard. I have guests arriving Thursday from Florida (my brother Mike and his gal, Marlene). I wanted to spruce things up so they could get a feel of fall.

It truly has been an Indian Summer this past two weeks. The sun, the warm temperatures, the leaves turning, the sights and the smells have been overwhelming. We've been blessed to have this weather. It is predicted now to rain and temperatures will be dropping to only the high 50's. The leaves are starting to fall off the trees, the acorns dropping, pinecones, coming down........time to start hunkering down.
Thank you Lynne for sharing your secret spot with me. Mum is the word....promise!

HI Barb, You two hit it big...At the Country Living Fair they were selling a small bunch of bittersweet for $8 to $15! I think you got over a $100's worth!! So pretty. Your home will certainly give them a good ol' midwestern autumn welcome. Have fun! Love, Penny
ReplyDeleteEverything looks beautiful! They are going love it here, even though it has turned to winter!
