I don't know about you, but I like to ease into the seasons more than I used to. I remember a time when I used to get out all of the "fall boxes" one afternoon and my knee-high babies and I would string fall all over the house like little pumpkin fairies. :)
Those were very sweet, very busy, very orange days...
We don't have quite as many "boxes" of decorations anymore. Instead, I enjoy using more from nature - real pumpkins, branchy leaves, and lots of texture through pillows, blankets and baskets.
