Good morning! Things are starting to look a little like fall here, crisp yellow leaves litter my deck, pumpkins, gourds, and pine cones have sprung up a the market and pumpkin recipes are everywhere. Fall is my favorite time of the year for so many reasons, the colors, the weather, the food and the family gatherings. I think people slow down, hunker in and relax more, or at least I do.

I hope that you have a wonderful day!

Good morning dear old friend from Blogland!
You have shared some of the iconic and great memories of falls past, and I am ready. Just today, our weather is turning to cool and I'm ready to put away the summer clothing.
Pinecones, acorns and pumpkins sound like a fabulous idea. AND THANK YOU for visiting! I am crazy busy, and at this moment, I need to go get ready for my 55 minute trek to the first school, teach, then run over to the second school! AHHHH!
Much love to you! Anita
I like that Eliot poem.
What a wonderful poem…I will be ready for fall on September 22 and not a moment sooner!! We will be traveling for Halloween and I will definitely miss that!! Hope you are having a fabulous week!! xoxo
Good Morning!
I just noticed you joined as a follower on my blog. I so appreciate it. My blog is new and is feeling a bit directionless.
Your blog is stunning.
Blessings to you.

Me too, dear friend…on so many of these! I am loving your cozy nook on the porch…may I join you for a chocolat chaud? 😉 Love George Eliot.
Big hugs,
