Fall at Linderhof

It's October

October 1st

I adore October

It's always been a special month

I've started many jobs in October

I had my first date with Husband Jim in October

I love October weather

cool mornings and crisp nights but warm days.

And October is Fall

September 21 is the FIRST DAY of Fall

but to me, my calendar says that

October 1 is really the first day of Fall.

And so yesterday, September 30 -- the last day of September and the last day of Summer

(by my calendar)

touches of Fall were added to the outside of Linderhof.

The front bench with two real pumpkins and two concrete ones!

From the front

Mums around the statue add a bit of color to the garden

To the back

A pumpkin under the table sand mums on top.   It's my view from the breakfast table.

And under the pergola

The mums bring bloom t the garden 

It's Fall outside

A bowlful of small pumpkins and bittersweet in the Asian bowl.

And inside.

Every year, I say that I'm going to get the house decorated for Fall

the first of September

but I never do

Probably because it is still hot on the prairie

And the weather is not at all Fall-like!

But October 1 DOES call for Fall

For pumpkins and bittersweet

And fall color mums!

October 1 means that Halloween is just around the corner

With Thanksgiving close on it's heels.

October

is a beautiful month

at

Linderhof!

I'm joining Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday.
