What do you see in the image above?

Notes:

• It’s autumn time: one of the best times of the year – the time to decorate with end-of-summer harvest and fall colors – so what is autumn and when does it start:
  INFO: understanding what is autumn
• Autumn decor through the fall months: what is nice about autumn decor is how long it can last. You can start mid-September with fall chrysanthemums and garden harvest. And with the beginning of October, add to your decor a few pumpkins and other items the changes the decor into Halloween. And then after Halloween, remove the scary stuff and add color fall foliage to celebrate the Thanksgiving season. That gives you full two months of autumn decor with minor variations.
• What ideas can you use: let’s use the image to think of autumn decor that you can use:
  • a) scarecrow:
    a nice addition to any fall piece – and they are easy to make. Your scarecrow can begin as a happy go-lucky and then scary for the Halloween trick-or-treaters:

  • b) chrysanthemums:
    they display beautiful fall colors in yellow – gold – red – purple and white. They thrive in the cool night and can last for weeks:

  • c) pumpkins and gourds:
    what is fall – Halloween – and Thanksgiving without pumpkins and gourds? Pumpkins can last for several weeks – as long as you don’t cut them up. But make sure to get several for both autumn and Halloween:

  • d) grass reeds:
    these are basically dried ornamental grass stalks that come up in the fall – if you have ornamental grasses, simply clip and decorate your fall scene; or you can buy them online:

  • e) wagon wheel:
    why not give your scene a little western feel – they make a great story about the old west:

  • f) other decorations:
    includes a burlap sack – other late summer flowers – a decorative autumn garden flag:

Final observation:

Autumn is a fun time to celebrate many events. We celebrate the harvest – the changing color of the leaves – the spookiness of Halloween – and then a final moment of Thanksgiving for everything that we have been blessed with. So make your autumn celebration count with some creative autumn decor scenes on the outside and in.
