Decorating On The Prairie: Spooky



Hello from Home Haven.

Decorating On The Prairie is keeping it simple. 
Autumn is finally here 
and some decorations went out....





SPOOKY Huh?

Daughter and Grand 
stuffed some spooks and hung some 
in a few of the front yard trees.

Sometimes spooky isn't so bad.
The scary part is climbing up and down 
off that scaffolding. 
Scary is as scary does.
Boooooooo.




Scaffolding went up so Hubby can pointed between the native limestone rocks.  
Pointing is the process of filling the space between the stones with a mixture like grout.
Relieved that the majority of the pointing is completed!  

Next the Garage gets some attention 
to make room for a place to build Kitchen Cabinets.
I'm foaming at the mouth waiting.  FOAMING.......let it happen soon.  

Geraniums like the cooler climate.







Home Haven is a work in progress.
Just like Life.

May you have a refreshing week-end!

Dear Deanna,

Love your little spooky ghosts, so cute seeing the photo of your little Miss walking along the path.
The would be a big job pointing all the bricks.

Happy new week
Hugs

Your home is so lovely and the way you and your husband keep it up shows the love you share for it.

I do think climbing the scaffolding is much more scary than the halloween decor too.

Blessings to you this wonderful time of the year!

It's a bit scary, but not nearly as bad as when I was roofing the house. Thankfully I'm not pointing all of the stone work, just repairing that which has crumbled or been knocked out by the woodpeckers.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
