HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS

Here are pictures of my inside and outside decorations.   I use the same ones year after year.  Some my husband and I did when we were going to craft shows other I got at yard sales or bought at the Dollar Tree,  Dollar General, and Wal-Mart.

WELCOME THE MONTH OF OCTOBER

October is the month for painted leaves....As fruits and leaves and the day itself acquire a bright tint just before they fall, so the year near its setting.  October is its sunset sky; November the later twilight.     ~ Henry David Thoreau~

October is crisp days and cool nights, a time to curl up around the dancing flames and sink into a good book.    ~John Sinos~

October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came - the ashes, oaks, and maples, and leaves of every name.  The sunshine spread a carpet, and every thing was grand; Miss Weather led the dancing; Professor wind, the band...the sight was like a rainbow new-fallen from the sky.  ~George Cooper~

October's the month when the smallest breeze gives us a shower of autumn leaves.   Bonfires and pumpkins, leaves sailing down- October is red and golden and brown.  ~Author Unknown~

October here's to you.  Here's to the heady aroma of the frost-kissed apples, the winey smell of ripened grapes, the wild-as-the-wind smell of hickory nuts, and the nostalgic whiff of the first wood smoke.    ~Ken Weber~

WELCOME THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER

"By all these lovely tokens September days are here, with summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer."
                   ~Helen Hunt Jackson~

"September days have the warmth of summer in their brief hours, but in their lengthening evenings a prophetic breath of autumn.  The cricket chirps in the noontide, making the most of what remains of his brief life.  The bumblebee is busy among the clover blossoms of the aftermath, and their shrill and dreamy now hold the outdoor world above the voices of the song birds, now silent or departed."
          ~Rowland E. Robinson~

"September fattens on wines .  Roses flake from the wall.  The smoke of harmless fires drifts to my eyes.  This is plenty.  This is more than enough"
             ~Geoffrey Holt~

"When the goldenrod is yellow, and leaves are turning brown - reluctantly the summer goes in a cloud of thistledown.  When squirrels are harvesting and birds in flight appear - by these autumn signs we know September days are here."
          ~Beverly Ashour~
