Autumn has officially arrived, and the weather has finally cooled some.
My collies — who spent most of the hot summer in the house — love playing in the backyard again. I enjoy watching them frolic outdoors, but I really look forward to turning off the air conditioning for the season.
And fall projects.
What do you plan to accomplish? Working in the yard and planting beautiful flowers? Painting a room in your home?
The leaves will turn magnificent colors soon; there are mums in lovely colors, and my potted hibiscus plants are still blooming. I enjoy seeing all the gorgeous flowers.
And making wreaths.
Have you made a wreath that incorporates all the lovely fall colors for your front door?
A basic wreath is simple to do and would make a great family project, so get the kids involved!
There are lots of instructions online. For instance, try this link:www.ehow.com/how_12340285_make-fall-elements-wreath.html.
I want to make a Mickey Mouse-inspired fall wreath.
What will you make?
Share photos of your hand-crafted wreaths on the Crestview News Bulletin's Facebook page. Just search for "Crestview Bulletin."
Please say "hi" if you see me on my jaunts around town.
