Trying to get past the fact that another summer has come to and end and we will soon be having those long, cold dark days of winter.Before we get there though we get to enjoy a Virginia fall which is my second favorite season.  I was able to decorate around the house for the first time this year and had lots of fun coming up with new ideas.  Nothing over the top.  I think just enough to acknowledge that fall has arrived.     Updated: Mom came over a few days after this post and contributed this BEAUTIFUL fall arrangement that she made using pine cones from our woods. It was the perfect addition to what we already had.  I just love it!
