Fall at my Home....

I sat on the porch Sunday afternoon and tried to take in the last few days of Fall. We have a chance of snow tomorrow night. It won’t stick, but it will be the preview of things ‘yet to come’.
(Yes, those are twinkle lights on the tree branch-- We're not "Hicks"---They are awesome on Fall nights...Everyone should have twinkle lights...)


I went to a funeral on Saturday. I also had a friend at work that lost her brother at 43 years old. So it was kind of a weekend to remember the blessings in my own life. I shared these mugs with Renee. My heart really goes out to her. I love anything by Bob Timberlake.


I have been wanting to share my pumpkin.

 I got it at the Farmer’s Market a few weeks back. I saw it and it was love at first sight. This farmer began telling me how to cook it and how good it tasted. All I kept thinking was, “Who Cares?!?!?!----This was a REALLY Super Cool Pumpkin.” It almost looked fake ----it was so perfect.

Acorns were scarce this Fall. There weren’t even enough for Sunday School Crafts. I found a few, but I think they were last year’s leftovers.

The deer started feasting on my hydrangeas so I cut them to save them for Christmas decorations for my tree.

Gratitudes Tonight:

Crunching leaves as I run the pups

Soup for Supper

Warm cup of coffee with Vanilla Creme

What a beautiful view from your porch! We have tons of acorns here...the squirrels are having lots of fun hiding them. That is the best pumpkin ever...no cooking of that one.

Doesn' seem any time since the snow was at your place...and it's on the way again. You are right...everyone should have twinkle lights! Love seeig all the decorating for Fall and Halloween on US blogs.

Snow??? Oh no, I'm not ready. I agree, that is one perfect pumpkin, who could cut that up and eat it? That's what the ugly ones are for. LOL

I adore your perfect little pumpkin! You're right, it does look 'faux'. :) Love the idea of the twinkle lights on a branch. I may have to borrow that idea for my porch. I bet that is a Fall table topper that I would like to have here at Ships Landing. :D The mugs are great!! Life is really fragile---and fleeting---sending hugs.

We're supposed to get wet snow here tomorrow. It's been too cold to sit on the deck. I haven't even cleaned out my gardens yet!

Love your pumpkins, the one on your porch table is so pretty too. Fall is the best and I think us northern midwest people enjoy it most because it is so sweet and fleeting. It could stay fall for a lot longer in my opinion!

Love the Hydrangeas! Love the basket, too! They were my favorites when we lived in AL. I never grew any when we lived in the Midwest, unfortunately. Now in AZ I only have them for a while as potted plants.
