A serene fall morning 🍁 . . . #fallinspiration #fallleaves #fall #falldecor #friday #burbsandblooms

Fall has settled in, bringing the need for sweaters and coats, boots and ice scrapers. And I love it 😃! I'm already excited to get Christmas out, but I'm also still really enjoying the fall items around the house. . . . #fall #fallinspiration #falldecor #falldecorations #falldecorating #mantle #mantledecor

Back in early fall, when the plants and flowers were still in their prime and fall garden chores were just starting to pick up, I had both my garden forks out, moving and fluffing mulch, turning the compost and tilling in some soil amendments while the kids buzzed around making garden "pies" 😅. Despite being probably my hardest working tools, these silly garden forks caught my eye as being particularly pretty as they rested out of the way! 🍃🍂 💚 Isn't it funny how hard work or challenging moments can then reflect back as also the most beautiful and memorable? Even though they represent hard work, mud, and sweat, my garden forks also provide warm fuzzies because of the progress they bring to the garden! 💪😊 . Have you enjoyed moments or memories that were contrasting in both difficulty and beauty? (Perhaps more so than my muddy-yet-lovable garden tools?😅) . . . #fall #gardening #garden #loveyourgarden #suburbangarden #suburbangardener #gardenlife #gardener #homegarden #homegardening #lovegardening #gardentools #thehappygardeninglife #instagarden #instagardeners #instagardenlovers #gardenlove #fallgardening #gardentherapy

I hear from so many people that they've "tried and failed" at composting. This doesn't bother me, because I know with just little knowledge and experience, composting can be hugely efficient and quite easy, and one can always start over. But for all those folks with a disappointing pile in their yard, what exactly do they do with it? . Well, I made a video on this exact issue, freshly uploaded to YT today! Go check it out to see how I use 3 different methods to use up my compost pile every fall, no matter what degree of "done-ness" it might be in. Link is up in my bio (or in the comments on FB)! Major bonus points to the first person who comments here on the embarrassingly hilarious cameo by my 5-year old! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

Ahhh, fall and Thanksgiving decor is back for a while! I love how warm and welcoming leaves and gourds can be, and I almost always wrap my pillar candles with burlap ribbon because, well...burlap! 🤩 🍁🧡 . What's your favorite fall or Thanksgiving decoration? . . . #fallcolors #falldecor #fall #autumn #fallinspiration #fallinspo #ilovefall #burlap

Hahaha, I'm still getting used to this video thing, but here's my second video dedicated to helping folks get started with composting. Once you decide to get started, this video provides basic tips on how to keep going, because nobody wants to feel like the proverbial deer/composter in the headlights! 💪🏻♻️💚.
