I was out in my yard for several hours today getting it decorated for fall. This season is truly my favorite time of the year. I decorated with scarecrows, pumpkins, mums, and cornstalks. The neighbors love it. I have been doing this for years and it is a fun tradition for our family. I also get so excited to start cooking some yummy fall foods.
