Fall Decorating with Moon Phase Syndrome



Photobucket
There's a bit of fall decorating going on here.
I have an apple theme going on a primitive shelf leading down into
 the studio.

Replaced the Petunia's in some pots with some Mums on the front deck.

Nature decorates for the most part by herself.  My remaining( her sister tree didn't make through the winter)  Pee Gee Hydrangea tree is loaded with blossoms and they're hinting a blush of pink.  I hope to getting around to making a wreath this year.

The window box replanted with Mums and metal Sunflower decorations.

The back deck and all the hanging baskets holding their own.  They require constant watering to keep them blooming now.  The night before last the temperature dropped to 40 degrees so I fear it won't be long and frost will take care of all that watering!  It's bittersweet to let them go.  I have been known to drag to them all into the house night after night.  We'll see what happens this year.

I believe there is another full moon upon us by weeks end.  Those of you who are moon phase sensitive will know it without looking at the calendar. Expect the symptoms to alleviate and have more clear head days by next week.  At least that is what I'm hoping for.

    Everything looks so nice! The flowers are lovely, no wonder you try to bring them in and keep them going as long as possible. Yuck! for that 40 degree stuff already! Fall is great but, let's keep it around 60, OK??? LOL!

    You always make things look so pretty. The cool nights are not great for your flowers but they sure are nice for sleeping,

    Ok, I've just endured day one of school with 19 eight year olds. Hearing that the full moon is days away is frightening at best! It really does affect us in school-land!

    Can I just say, that if I could have my greatest wish, it would be to visit your garden for a good long time!
    Hugs!

    Cathy, I just love your decorating sense, everything goes together so nicely. I second Courtney, I would love to come for a visit and chat the day away and perhaps do a bit of hooking now and again. Could you please tell me where you discovered the white pumpkin in your header? might you have made him? I am enjoying these last few warm days of summer especially when accompanied by cool nights. Now I realize why I can't seem to sleep, full moon syndrome? is there a pill for that? LOL. Sending blessings from Maine, Julie.

    Such wonderful decorating I am holding onto summer so I have not pulled any fall things out.
    I agree I would love to visit your garden but of course you could not keep me out of your studio! I am very moon sensitive and so is my daughter.I will not sleep much the next few nights.

    Cathy - everything looks wonderful. It's such a transitional time (we all know what comes next) and it's nice to dress it up a bit. You have inspired me to go get out my not-so-real sunflowers and add them to my urns.
    Thanks for sharing all of this.
