Deep Breath, Now Think of Pumpkins!!

It's Hot! It's August and it's the time of year we all start wishing for cooler weather and forgetting to water our very parched lawns. But have no fear Fall is just around the corner. In fact its not too early to go ahead and add some football themed/fall decor to your doors and porches.  It will lift your spirits and remind you that September 1st is not far away and pumpkins will be soon to follow.  At this time of year I like to decorate with a more maroon fall color mixed with greenery.  It's best to stay away from the orange hues until Oct is officially here and the maroon/red leaf colors tie in nice with the back-to-school, red-apple look. We have already harvested our corn and cut over 1,400 corn stalks to dry and tie into fall decor bundles for front porches.  We have hay bales available throughout the year for porch decorating and they are great to feed to the livestock after the season is over. I have seen so many beautiful Milo fields this year with big maroon heads and sunflowers are in abundance right now.  Soon you will smell fall in the air and begin to mourn summer. So take advantage of these last few weeks with cold watermelon, swimming and homemade ice-cream.  The changing seasons are a true blessing from God.  Enjoy each one as they come, but especially FALL!!!

Bella Pumpkin again this year will not be decorating porches or selling pumpkins due to a very heavy calendar of kids events! Blessings!
