I know many of you further south are still baking in the heat, but the crisp cool mornings in Highlands, North Carolina have been giving way to perfect mid-70 temperatures in the afternoons. With the official start of autumn, I decided to add a few fall touches to our garden. I dumped our summer window box and created our fall window box. I use real pumpkins and add touches of rhododendron greenery and pine cones from around Two Holt, artificial silk sunflower blooms and small beaded garland bought a few years ago at Hobby Lobby. I could fill the box with bright colorful mums, but the bloom time wouldn't last until Thanksgiving like this arrangement. With the window box completed, I added a few other fall touches at the side entrance...like this decorative pumpkin beside the door. I changed our hanging sign from the summer watering can to a fall pumpkin. I added our ceramic pumpkin post near the steps leading to our screen deck. On my next trip down the mountain I'll pick up a few more pumpkins to add to the front of the house. I surely hope the bears around here leave my pumpkins alone!
