Autumn TreasuresWritten by Arleen M. Kaptur
The colors of Season - Crimson and burgundy reds, bittersweet oranges, sun yellows, hunter green, and beige - These brilliant hues of Autumn can be mixed, matched, or just enjoyed - your choice! Outdoor decorations: Haystacks, scarecrows, pumpkins, in all shapes and sizes, bushel baskets of gourds, apples, Indian apples, and squashes. Corn stalks, and Indian corn are decorative touches that add so much to areas around your home. Use these Harvest items on porches,decks, or on steps and near front door-ways. Wheat, mums, and willows add a Fall dimension to flower arrangements and centerpieces. Use colorful leaves available under your centerpieces, on windowsills, mantels, shelves, etc. wherever you need a "touch of color" and warm hues of a very exciting season of year. ************************** Party Themes: After Pumpkin Patch Supper - After a hard day of searching for and choosing gourd that truly symbolizes Fall, your family and friends will need some nourishment! Apples Galore Fun-Time Fest - Apple picking is fun - don't forget camer - as everyone reaches for that one treasure on very tippy-top of tree. But picking apples, sampling, and breathing in aroma of orchard excites appetites, creates instant giggles and fun, and old-fashioned enjoyment! Let everyone make their own taffy apples, of course, with adult supervision with hot taffy, and add sprinkls, nuts, etc. Raking Leaves Party Time - Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn - stories from past - get family, friends, and relatives to pitch in with rakes, brooms, and baskets to rake and clean up your landscape, but "jumping in" is just part of fun. Also, if your area permits, burning leaves is truly aroma of Autumn - great to sit around, munch on apples, and dream about Holiday Season just ahead. Throw in a great meal and you have - instant party time fun! Harvest Time Bon-Fire Get-together - Freshly baked apples pies, grilled hot dogs, chips, and apple cider - it just doesn't get any better than this! However you decide to celebrate - enjoy Autumn and Nature - it only comes once a year - but memories will last a lifetime. ********************************* Table Decor - Make a centerpiece of one large pumpkin, surrounded by smaller ones, baby squash, gourds, acorns, and leaves. Let your imagination go wild! Use fall leaves that have been dried between sheets of waxed paper on windowsills, shelves, and mantels. Use large leaves or baby pumpkins as place cards and tie napkins with "autumn colored" yarns, or raffia. Add an acorn or pinecone and you have a very impressive napkin ring. Colorful felt placemats with cut-out hot-glued on of apples, leaves, etc. are fun and inexpensive. ******************************** Meal-time menus: Cornish game hens, with wild rice stuffing, baked sweet potatoes, cornmeal fried tomato slices, tossed green salad, and chocolate mousse
