Fall into Autumn



The upcoming week is proof that fall is here to stay.  With temps in the low 40's at night and high 60s during the day, we can't help but snag our sweaters and light jackets to ward off the chills in the air. 

Today was sunny, but breezy so I decided to venture out with my little one to Michael's to shop for some floral arrangements for our table.  I love centerpieces and am overly excited when I actually find time to make one myself.  My daughter was in awe of all the beautiful flowers and colors, picking a few that I purchased to make the array.  And at 60% off I could not pass it up.  It was all so fun and the end result as pretty as I imagined.

Now if my daughter will only allow it to stay in one piece. 

How are you adding fall decor to your home?  We would love to see some pictures!

Continued Blessings,

Fall-Time Favorites

Everyday as we walk to and from the bus stop my daughter points out the changing colors of the leaves. A few red and gold ones sprinkle the ground and she gasps in awe that fall is finally here. She's not alone because as autumn gains momentum I feel myself coming alive.  I'm not upset over shorter days and cooler temperatures. No, that's my hubby. For me fall is a favorite because of the beautiful scenery, fuzzy sweaters, comfort food and county fairs/festivals (with more yummy food)! On top of that my birthday comes and I get to bless the Lord for giving me another year of happiness and health. It's that perfect balance of not too hot and not too cold and the promise of pumpkins then soon, Thanksgiving turkey.  There's apple picking (I've already had my share of Honeycrisp this season) and plenty of cider and pie to go around. Sweet potato prices are dropping and the evenings get lovelier as the sun lowers in the sky. I breath a sigh of relief at the whole predictable order of nature and just relax into the lazy days of fall.

What are some of your favorite fall activities? Post a comment to share.
