Today is the first day of Autumn but it'll be 85 here today. The leaves have started to fall and they're all over the roads. It looks like fall, but we're experiencing warmer than normal weather this week. I suppose I should enjoy it while it lasts because it gets quite cold starting in November.

Thanks for the reminder about QVC. I'll be watching it on Saturday. Maybe I can mark a few things off of my Christmas list. If not, I'll still enjoy watching. Do you normally buy anything? One year I found several items to buy as gifts. It varies.

Its 103F here for the first day of Autumn. I use my memories to remember what Autumn really looks & feels like and I miss it!

I'll be watching QVC tomorrow too! Happy shopping! :smilecc:

I just picked up my Christmas wish book at Sears, and there are a couple of rows at Michaels dedicated to Christmas.

I was in JcPenney & Macy's two days ago and they had a lot of Christmas items in. Macy's was in the process of unpacking their merchandise but they had some trees up & decorated. JcPenney even had all of their Christmas items on sale for 50% off. They're not past season items either. Kirklands has a lot of Christmas things as well....I love Kirklands. I can't believe how close it's getting, I can just hear the bells jingling.

Still no Christmas decorations in Arizona. We're still having 100+F temps daily so Halloween is the fare.

Just can't wait for the first decorations to show! :D

Our town square is being decorated this weekend in preparation for our Christmas parade. :rockettes:

Oh, how I miss small towns. Their Christmas decorations, festivals and choral arrangements are always the best! Enjoy CK. :D
