Decorating for Fall and September 11th

 Monday, September 11 - This is always a solemn day for me.  I try to take a lot of my day to watch coverage of the events at the 9/11 sites.  To remember and honor those who gave their lives.  It is incredible to hear every name being read still 22 years later.  I love that.  

Day 18 of school.  During the day, I did normal cleaning and chores.  I was out in the garage straightening it up some and brought in a few fall decorations.  Not meaning to actually decorate - I just wanted to put a few things out to see how they looked.  Well, one thing turned into the next, and pretty soon, I had the house decorated for fall.  It didn't help that a huge thunderstorm came up and turned the house dark and cozy.  It helped with my mood to want to decorate for fall. :)

When your husband forgets his travel mug on top of the car, it falls off, gets run over, and still is usable.  Gotta love a Yeti.

Does anyone love to sit in their garage when it rains?

Not decor but he is a permanent fixture.

I made crockpot chicken and dumplings for dinner.  I like to switch it up and sometimes I make this recipe in the crockpot and other times, I make the homemade style in the pot on the stove.  Even dinner felt like it went with the day's vibes.

After Autumn got home, I took Summer to the library to return books and pick up her holds.

Then we went to Aldi and Wal-Mart for our weekly groceries.  We didn't get home until almost 9 but that is how it is when I have to work around a car situation. :)

Have you decorated for fall yet?
