Fall Decor DIY - Leaf illuminare



 As the mercury dips and the air becomes crisp,  a little warmth will add cheer. Nature is so excellent in providing that warmth and I brought in few of those, beautiful crimson leaves. Reusing a bottle and using those gifts of nature, I said thanks for brightening my day.

The Pumpkin Prayer



Halloween is around the corner and people are excited about making jack-o-lanterns with pumpkins. It is believed that the custom of making jack-o-lanterns first started in Ireland. But they had used huge turnips and when this custom travelled overseas to the United States, pumpkins replaced turnips. May be because of the size! We don't see huge turnips in the US.

Mornings are cold and days are getting shorter, and soon there will be frost. Pumpkins have to be harvested before that. So harvest of pumpkins happens right in time for Halloween. Pumpkin patches, photobooths, pumpkin carving, pumpkin cider, pumpkin pie, pumpkin this and pumpkin that - pumpkins are everywhere. The orange pumpkins along with the red and yellow leaves do brighten up the gloomy fall season.
