Happy Tuesday

and welcome to the first full week of fall 2017!

Saturday I headed upstairs to discover the fall décor that I packed away just before Christmas 2016.I have LOTS of stuff!

Apparently I’m a better organizer than I thought because the fall container was front and center and easily retrieved.  The Jack-O-Lantern took a little more effort to reach.
I pulled everything out and that was about as far as I got.

My house was screaming to be cleaned and the treadmill needed my attention even more. With the exception of a wreath that I strategically placed in the living room, the fall décor is scattered on my dining room table.

Although I didn’t decorate this weekend, I did celebrate the season.

As I mentioned in a previous post, actually two previous posts (here and here), I baked a pumpkin pound cake Saturday afternoon.

Sunday was LB’s first day off in three weeks.

He has been working long hours, every day since a few days before hurricane Irma befell.  To celebrate (in addition to LB’s pumpkin treat) we went to

Pier One

and stumbled on to an excellent sale!

and found more fall décor

This little guy made me LOL!She reminds me of someone I know!This little turkey came home with me! And so did this little guy!We found some beautiful thingsAnd picked out several items to take home with usIn addition to all the seasonal items, there were things that made me think of some of my family members.  This little bird reminded me of MamaThis fancy cat made me think of StephanieAnd although I cannot explain it, this Llama called Amanda to mindDisclaimer:  No suggestion that Amanda resembles a Llama was intended in the publishing of this post. Now I will need to get that decorating done!

I’m going to need another day off!
