Today as I was returning to the house on our daily dog walk I was once again in awe of the absolutely stunning array of colors on the ground from the fall leaves. I had this thought – “free fall decorating”.
Now maybe it’s because I am appalled by the amount of waste coming out of disposable decorations. Maybe it’s because we have worked very hard to simplify. Maybe it’s because we’ve had an eye opening 9 months of going up north to our undeveloped land and seeing that vast, very different in scale and style, beauty. But this year I cannot bring myself to put out our little scarecrow picks. I don’t want to buy pumpkins that we watch rot. I am enjoying seeing a wave of color pile up in our landscaping and on the lawn – before it gets swept away or cleaned up. It’s “free fall decorating”.

The colours are gorgeous, and I love the notion of nature in ‘free fall decorating’. I had thoughts along the lines of ‘patchwork quilting’ and enjoy making patterns in my mind’s eye with autumn’s bounty, bedding down before winter. Though here in the Cape we’re seeing the riotous blooms of spring 😊.

Thanks! They were so beautiful! Now it’s mostly snow. Still beautiful, just in a different way 🙂
