I just love autumn!  The chill in the air.  The unpredictable weather.  The increased activity of the birds.  The honking of Canda geese as they fly overhead.  (Although I do sometime feel I need to duck my head as they fly over.  A reflex developed from seagulls at the beach maybe.)  {inhale deeply here, close eyes, and exhale}  Don't you just love the autumn, too?

I have taken all my tall corn stalks out of the garden; at least the ones left intact from the last couple of storms.  These I plan to lash to the columns at the front of the house.  As soon as I find some twine.  I have two pumpkins and a bi-colored squash out front on my child's bench.  The larger pumpkin was subjected to the paintbrush and the result is quite Martha-Stewart-y.  Soon I'll pick the strawberry corn and start drying it.

Tomorrow I plan to tackle a skirt for my eldest daughter.  We purchased, for $3, a mini-skirt and now will add a pretty floral fabric to it in order to bring it down to a more modest length.  I can't recall where I got the directions for doing it (I always need a pattern for everything), but I may have Googled "broom skirts" to get it.

I am also starting to reglaze two old wooden windows my husband salvaged last year for me.  I am quite excited about this project because I will hang them indoors.  Other than a few postcards and children's artwork I don't have any thing on the walls.  The only nails/screws in the walls are the ones holding the CD towers to the wall.  All that is about to change!

It is a good thing that autumn is just getting started.  I have alot to work on.
