Late October Decorating

Not much to shout about!  Just a little late October decorating.  I sure have slowed down on my seasonal/holiday decorating.  I don't know what it is but I always think "what goes up must come down."
I have so much holiday decorations stored in containers.  I doubt I will ever use again.  Hey, I am getting older and the appeal of changed things out every month or so wears me out.  Oh, I will do some, but not like I once did.  That stage of my life is pretty much over.

But here is what I have done for now.

The front porch got a few little mum plants.

I like the October late afternoon shadow.

Little Teddy has a lot to do guarding the neighborhood.

A small display on the coffee table.

A small display on one of the end tables.

Do you have spots that no one ever sees?  

But I still decorate it.  I doubt I am the only 

one that notices.  I figure that is ok

it is my house and I enjoy it.

Another display on a end table people seldom see,

But I do and I like it.

The picture is of my Grandma Dot.

My The Beauty of the 

Aunt Carol Hutch

............

She is the reason I decorate in my kitchen area

I love this hutch.  Every day she reminds me 

of my dear Aunt Carol who loved me

And I loved her dearly.

I miss her a lot.

No matter the season, she is beautiful.

I would love her even if I didn't decorate.

The maple wood is so gorgeous.

Not a scratch on her!

My kitchen is small, and it is hard to get a full view

of the Aunt Carol Hutch.

But, you can see she is outstanding.

A few weeks ago I was finishing up the decorating.

I was on a high ladder getting the dusting and cleaning done.

When I went down from the ladder I missed the last step. . 

Well, my balance is not that great, I fell. 

I already have a leg and hip that is injured.

This time I sprained my foot, 

and hurt my leg and hip.

My children were up set with me that I was on a ladder.

But, like I told them.. . .I am use to doing things

myself.  When dusting or cleaning needs to be

done I do it.  I am not going to stop and call one of

them to come "right now" to clean and dust.

It just won't happen,  so I have got to pay more

attention to what I am doing when being on a ladder.

For me it is hard growing older.  I am a "doer." I always 

have been.  Now as I am aging I can't "do" like I

once did.  I am slower, and I have to be careful.

What a life!

Now don't get me wrong. . .I love life. . .I just don't

like some of my limitations right now.  And the 

truth is limitations will increase and not decrease.

I have to remember there are blessings to

every stage of life.

Have a wonderful day!
