I finally had a free day where it wasn't 100-degrees outside to tackle my fall porch decorations. I have wanted to add mums and pumpkins to the porch, but when it's unbearably hot out, it's pointless. The mums would have died, and the pumpkins would have turned into pumpkin pie.

Running in the Fall, Smoothies at Clean Juice & Dog Time!
Hi Everyone :) How are your weeks going? I hope you have some fun plans for the weekend. My week has been an active one, but a consistent one. I live for consistency because it never lasts.
