I Need Some Inspiration And A Fence!

Grit Magazine

I'm in a decorating 'funk'.

I don't know what's up with me this fall but I just can't seem to get into the fall decorating mode as much

as I'd like to.

Part of it is because of this guy.

Shep our Akbash terror

Well in this picture taken this spring it

looks like Chelsea our little Shih Tzu is the

'terror'.

But in truth Shep ...who is just the sweetest 'pup' is

actually the 'destroyer'.

Last year he chewed up my scarecrow that I bought at

Cracker Barrel years ago. It was sitting on our front porch on the old bench. 

I LOVED that old scarecrow!

He not only chewed him up but he chewed the little scarecrow who sat on his lap and the ends off the 

 real pumpkins and the baskets of Mums I had put out.

Thank heavens our 'working' scarecrow is in the fenced vegetable garden.  

Yesterday he chewed up my fall wind-sock! 

So...I hope you can understand my lack of enthusiasm

when it comes to fall decorating outside.

Mr Fixit says we're putting up a fence soon. 

I can hardly wait.

In the meantime...I need some inspiration to get me back in the mood.

I hope you enjoy these pictures and I hope you're fall decorating is doing better than mine.

Don't you just love scarecrows.

I'm going now to price some fencing...

I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!
