Falling For Fall

Nothing is better than Fall. I love the colors....
and the flavors of all fall foods, especially anything pumpkin. These are my last push of peppers from my garden and because they made me smile all summer, I thought they needed to show their face! Hi Peppers!!
Fall is about being outdoors and enjoying the cooler temperatures and taking in the beauty that Mother Nature shows off in her palate of reds, oranges and gold.
Fall is also the best time of year to gather up acorns, but be sure to save some for the squirrels!
The season is also about family ~ to gather over a hot pot of stew with a crusty baguette for soaking up the last bit of savory sauce.
Lots of pumpkins in every shape, size and color can be found for sale on busy steet corner lots in hopes of being selected by a kids, big and small, to take home and carve into something whimsical or scary for the porch.

This little chicken is happy amongst little pumpkins and gourds. He is nesting under an old chicken or turkey food keeper. Farmers would put these over the bowls of food so the birds couldn't sneak a bite.

The morning light and the coolness of the air is best in the Fall and I love how light streams in through the windows in the morning.
I love little squirrels and these fellas hang our with some white ceramic pumpkins on the foyer table. Shhh...I think he is saying, "I want an acorn!"
Wherever you are in this big world of ours, just take a little time to enjoy the season!

  10. Becky your Fall decorations are great. I love the rooster with the pumpkins under the cage. Of course I am partial to roosters. Its wonderful when you use what you already have out by simply adding some fall touches. Fall is a wonderful time to sit back and enjoy the beauty of autumn with friends and family. Have a wonderful weekend.

  29. Thank you for your prayers for Sandy.. I spoke with Sandy and I told her that there are many beautiful ladies praying for her.. She is in good spirits, her husband is not doing as well as she is.. I spoke with him and he has to take the baby home today..... New Father with new baby and wife facing open heart surgery is a tough pill to swallow........ Remember David when you pray.....

  36. I just want to say how much I love your decorating. I have a side table with oval mirror in my dining room too. I have not hung anything on the wall above it because I am scared to try. I am so encouraged to see how you've placed your pictures and clocks above yours. Your cute lamp and all of your other fall decor are so inspiring. Kathi
