Reviewing Outdoor Fall Displays
As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves start to change colors, everything appears to be gradually preparing for a long winter's sleep. While the fall colors are beautiful, our yards don't seem quite as vibrant and colorful as they have been. We desire a way to hold on to the beautiful summer flowers and green lawns, but to still embrace the gorgeous fall changes. Some of us have found the perfect solution. It isn't time to really start decorating for Halloween, but we can start decorating our yards for fall in a way that will compliment the Halloween decor when it is time. Plus, thanks to the milder weather, we can leave these fall displays intact until Thanksgiving. By creating a beautiful fall harvest display in our yards or on our porch, we capture the brilliance of flowers and combine it with the great harvest fest. Some of the vegetables or flowers may have to be replaced over the course of the next few months, but the backdrops and foundations can easily remain.
Start by choosing a beautiful setting in front of a tree with the dramatic fall color leaves, like a maple tree. Or, build your display on your front porch where it will be better protected from weather.

Decorative Items for a Fall Yard Display

Once we have our foundation in place, we can start adding the fun, decorative items that we have chosen. I usually add my main feature next which is most often an owl or a happy scarecrow. You can always make your own scarecrow by stuffing old clothes with straw, creating a face or mask, and topping him off with an old hat. Or, you can purchase a ready made scarecrow.
Additional Fall Decoration Suggestions for Your Display

- Leaves

If you build your display on your porch, you could even make a fall wreath for your front door that coordinates with your display.
