Years ago, Kenny made the maple leaf cut-out decoration with pallet wood, and it’s still my favorite.
At the beginning of September, I purchased a few things for our front porch this fall – a couple of unusual pumpkins and a Better Homes & Gardens Pumpkin Spice mum. I left them in the garage for a few days until I could get around to cleaning off the dying summer flowers and sweeping everything. During that time, the garage started smelling like cinnamon! Kenny finally determined that the mum I bought must have been sprayed with a cinnamon scent. How wonderful! Sometimes Anna goes out front to smell the mum, and when the front screen door is open, we can sometimes smell it inside the house. I’m so happy with this purchase. Not only does it smell lovely, but it’s one of the most beautiful mums I’ve seen with yellow, orange, and red all in one bloom.
Anna and I enjoyed a walk around our neighborhood, looking for beautiful fall colors.
I love our little neighborhood library.

We’ve so enjoyed our fall trees this year, and now this week we had our first snow! Once again, Pike’s Peak looks so beautiful covered in white. With freezing overnight temperatures, I’m babying the pumpkins, bringing them in each night and hoping they’ll last through Thanksgiving. Our mum is still hanging on and sleeps in the garage each night now. Almost two months later, I can still smell the cinnamon! I’m so thankful to live in a place that experiences four beautiful seasons.
