leaves
Acorns, leaves, berries found on our nature walks are displayed on a depression glass pie plate and small vase- making inviting nature into our home a breeze.
This just because bouquet made my day! I adore Sunflowers, Daisy's and Mums!
Adding copper and Autumn toned leaves to this iron wall art makes a happy statement.
If I could wear this perfect fall flower palette- either in my makeup or clothing, I would.
I hope that you have been able to get outside and enjoy this beautiful season!

I couldn't work on this post without a particular song running through my head again and again. So, I decided to share my pictures and some lyrics with you today.
Any Classic Rock fan reading, may have already guessed the song running through my head: Led Zeppelin's Ramble On.

Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was
on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.
But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way.
Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do...
[Chorus]
Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.
Got no time to for spreadin' roots, The time has come to be gone.
And to' our health we drank a thousand times, it's time to Ramble On.
[Chorus]
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.
How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air.
T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair.
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her,
her....yeah.
[Chorus]
Gonna ramble on, sing my song. Gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby...
Gonna work my way, round the world. I can't stop this feelin' in my heart
Gotta keep searchin' for my baby. I can't find my bluebird!
I simply
adore this season for a host of reasons and I have passed on that love to my
girls.

The other
morning it was a little chiller than normal and the front window was steamed up
from our cat looking out. I hadn’t even noticed it as I got my oldest to the
bus on time; but it was THE first thing my youngest noticed. She was so happy
to see that steamed up window. Why does
that make you so happy I asked? Because she said “it means that baking season
is here”! She is her mother’s daughter.
As if by
some physic link my oldest texted my from the bus saying that the nice crisp
morning made her think about my Apple Pie. Coincidence? I think not.
See it has
been so ghastly hot this summer, here, there, everywhere! That I haven’t done
much baking. I was loath to turn the oven on for the 2 minutes it takes to
broil some sourdough crustini’s, but there was simply no way my family was
doing without them.
We love fall
here, not just for the baking, but for the cooking of favorite recipes and the
seasonal activities- Fall Festivals, watching football games, going for nature
walks on our property, driving down the Natchez Trace to look at the pretty
leaves, raking up our own batch of pretty leaves, yard work and prep that is
soothing in its traditions. Ever since my girls were little they have helped my
ready our yard and porches for winter. This year will be no different. With one
exception: they are bigger and filled with more stories and memories.
Fall is a
busy, happy time here and I hope it is for you and yours.
Do you love
Fall as well? What is your favorite Fall activity? Share your love with us!
