Fall in Love with Fall

 All my life I have loved this time of the year. Crisp weather, football games, festivals, sweaters and jackets, and all the colorful beauty...what's not to love. I've added a few more fall touches inside the house. Nothing new...just what I already had.

In years past I would buy real pumpkins at the grocery store or from a roadside stand. Now I prefer fake ones because you can use them again and again. Hey, I'm thinking a trip to Hobby Lobby might be in order. The outside porch and planters could use a few more pumpkins.

Moving On

 September is not waiting around. She's passing quickly. And honestly I cannot understand how fast these weeks have slipped by.

 

Corkey and I have enjoyed the last days of summer and the first fall days in our backyard swing.

Fall decorating has begun. 

This little vintage child's cabinet was moved off the mantel to the trunk near my easy chair. I'm forever moving and changing home decor pieces that I've had for years.

Before I end this post I want to share a photo of a very special lady, my Aunt Clara Belle Crum. She turned 104 on September 20th. Even though she had to leave her lovely home, adjust to a memory care facility, and is recovering from a recent stroke, she keeps her beautiful smile.

  

Uncertain Times

Due to the recent disturbing events in Memphis I thought I'd mention some lighter moments in this post. 

Corkey had a birthday on September 1st. Here he was tearing up meat for Labor Day that was a scaled down version with a gathering of Clowes and Tolley families.  Lauren also had a birthday on the ninth of September.(P. S. I don't think Corkey and Lauren were very thrilled about their advancing ages.) 

 This past week I've been nursing a cold, but before that I was puttering and changing things around once again. I'm ready for fall pumpkins to come out of storage.

I have been sharing my zinnias on Facebook and Instagram so why not here, too. I'm in love with these sweet flowers.

 This new week is supposed to bring lots of sunshine with low humidity. 

Let's enjoy!!!
