Good morning! Happy Friday. I have high hopes today because it is supposed to drop 15 degrees and hopefully we are going to see a little Fall. If you see someone dancing in the streets, that will be me. I will also have every window in the house open catching a little bit of the cool breeze.
I might even bake something this weekend. The hot, humid weather zapped me and frankly I just did not feel like baking. When that happens it is a bad thing at my house.

Fall is all about pumpkins, pecans, apples and cranberries at least as far as sweet treats go. Doesn’t this Pumpkin Almond French Toast from A Beautiful Mess look delicious? I will be making this tomorrow and I will let you know how it is.

If you are looking for something sweet to bake this weekend why not try these fall Cranberry Orange Muffins from one of my favorite blogs Sally’s Baking Addiction?

| Pumpkin Dinner Rolls |
If you prefer something you have to try these Honey Butter Pumpkin Spice Dinner Rolls from Averie Cooks. I made these last Saturday and they were delicious. I cannot wait to make them again.

It's been a bit cooler here the past few days. I would love to open my living room window, but had to tape it closed to keep the dust out! I always enjoy seeing your links and food.

The cranberry orange muffin sounds tempting!
Oh Elizabeth, there's so much great inspiration here, I want to read your niece's letter, the blog post, and check out the book you just read for your book club. Do you know what classic I'm finally reading? Doctor Zhivago. Hope you have a great weekend!

Yes, going to see American Made and American Assassin, a Vince Flynn book turned into a movie. Love the photography of the Kitchen of McCabe !!! Love YOU !!
Everything looks fabulous! I just finished "Homegoing" by Yaa Gyasi. I am so ready to start baking with pumpkin. Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs!
Hi Elizabeth just stopping by to tell you I read the post on 'original voice' and found it really relevant. Made me think too. I do notice the group-think mentality reflected back in IG design blogger photos a lot, maybe an unconscious flow toward following the pack when it comes to décor or trends. A lot of the same thing. Hmm…do you notice that too?
Traveling all week…will savor every part of this post!
