I went to the dollar tree yesterday, and by gosh they had fall decorations up ! Scarecrows, fall leaves, etc. Right beside it was summer buckets and water toys ! I think they are rushing the gun a little early here.

I was at Staples and they had a .01 sale of school supplies already! I bought a bunch of stuff, you can't go wrong even if I have to store it for a while!

They do get earlier evenry year, you're right about that!

It's really not that early when you think about it. Christmas has been out for a while in craft and fabric stores. Fall is just around the corner and for us in less than a month we will be back in school. In two weeks my DS has to start summer band to start learning the show.

Staples did this last year -- They started with the folder, pencils, vinyl notebooks and sharpeners. Paper, spirals, crayons, and markers will come in the next few weeks. Since Staples does a national sales circular they have to have it early enough fot the schools that start in early to mid August.

This weekend Hallmark will start selling their Christmas ornaments - seems to get earlier every year.

I would never decorate my house this early but it does help to be able to buy fall or even Christmas things early. It is nice to be able to make wreaths and arrangements and have them ready for the seasons when they arrive. if you wait till the last mlinute to do these things, you may not have time for other things that go on during the season.
