Usually I do it on Sept. 1. I look forward to the day when all the seashells get packed back into the attic. I pour the sand from my center-piece into a ziplock, and drag the box labled "fall" out.
For some reason, I'm late this year. Maybe it's because it's been over 90 degrees most days in Sept. here in NC. It's been blazing hot and dry, dry, dry, so I didn't feel like pumpkins and mums just yet.
Yesterday Barry let me know that he'll be having a meeting at our house today. Although the men who are coming could care less about the layer of dust that has settled on to every surface, it was the push that I needed to do some overdue cleaning and break out the fall.
I enjoy my house the most in the fall. Our walls are officially "camel", but they lean toward gold, and I have reds and greens and browns scattered around. Fall brings out the warm and cozy, and I love it.
So I'm sitting on my couch by the bank of windows this morning typing away, listening to the rain and sipping coffee with some candles lit. Fall is here. Why do you love fall?

Fall brings a fresh breath of crisp air after a long and scorching summer. I love all things fall, the colors, the smells, sweaters, a hot beverage, good books, outdoor festivals, pumpkin patches!! I just love Fall and am so glad that it has finally arrived.

I always loved Fall.To me Fall brings energy/excitement into the air. If you could put a smell to a word, Fall smells like Hope!
Fall is definitely my favorite season. Living in South Florida makes it hard for me to really experience the changes in the leaves nor the nice cool weather. I make sure to decorate the house inside and out with a harvest theme. I use a lot of harvest scent candles and air fresheners. The wall colors in my house are earth tones so the ambiance in the house feels like fall. My desire is to someday to be able to take my family vacation up north during the fall.
