Fall Magic

Hello Everyone!!    Is it Fall?   Not yet, but it's coming soon!!  September 22 nd to be exact....   I am ready for it now and so is our home!!

I did a little decorating yesterday while Sam was sleeping...  I will say, I am enjoying the cozy feeling that has started to settle over the house. 

 I did a little more decorating than what I had originally planned... I was working so hard and then I suddenly realized that I was carrying Fall throughout the house.  I do still have to finish the kitchen...

This year, I didn't want to completely change everything.  I wanted to use many of the things I already love and just simply tuck in touches of autumn here and there.  The only thing that I added was a lot more candles.  

 

I love how in the evenings, the candlelight changes a room.  Such a warm feeling.....even though we are still in the upper 90's around here outdoors...I guess I could simple go outside and feel the warmth...but it wouldn't have the same ambiance. 

Our sofa got it's own simple Fall update with green pillows and that wonderful pop of orange color.  I love how the colors look against our warm neutral leather sofa.  Sometimes a change in pillows can redecorate the room.. 

In the dining area, I brought out my tiered tray and filled it with pumpkins, pears, greenery and some little white pumpkins that say "thankful" and "Blessed."   I still need a candle for the top tier...

So simple.....a tall wicker piece with Fall florals.  

When Sam woke up a few hours later, the house looked completely different....

I call it Fall Magic!!!!

Just a quick note!

 Sam is in the hospital so I most likely will not be posting for a few days.  

Much Love,

We have Rain!!! For Real!!

 We have Rain  ☔️

We even have Water standing...

Super excited is what we are.....and We are so very thankful for the Blessing of this sweet rain. 

Thank you Lord!!

The pavers are looking GREAT!!  They had to stop due to rain, but this is totally fine with me. 

Hector will come back and do the cement work and it walk way will be finished.

News from my cardiologist.....He would not give clearance for me to have the colonoscopy.  

He said I needed to wait at least 6 months after having the stent put in my heart, which was in June.   So, NO drinking the horrible prep for now!!

Going to be out and about today....Looking for a few golden items to add to my Fall decor!!

Wishing you all a day full of love...Enjoy your blessings of this day!!

September 2nd

 🍂 Hello, September 2nd!

September has barely unpacked her bags, and she’s already keeping us busy!

There’s a chance we may get some rain later today or tonight from Edouard. I’m certainly not wishing for bad weather, but a nice, gentle rain? I’ll take it—especially if it saves me from dragging the water hose around the yard. ☔️

Meanwhile, there’s a little project happening outside. We’re having paving stones placed around the house to create a walkway, and I’m excited to see it finished. You know how one little outdoor project works, though. You start with, “Let’s just put a few stones here…” and before you know it, you’re standing outside dreaming up three more projects. 😂

This morning also brings something a little more bittersweet. We’re meeting with a realtor to get Sam’s dad’s house listed to sell. It’s another step in a season filled with changes, and some changes carry a few more memories with them than others. ❤️

Back at our house, I’m continuing to do a little fall decorating. 🍁 I say a little, but we all know how that goes. One pumpkin leads to another pumpkin, which leads to a basket, a throw, a few leaves…and suddenly autumn has taken over the house.   🎃😂

And before this busy September day gets away from me…

Happy Birthday to our son-in-law, Tom! 🎂🎉

We hope your day is filled with lots of happiness, plenty of good food, and all the things you enjoy most. We’re thankful you’re part of our crew!

So that’s September 2nd around here—paving stones, pumpkins, possible rain, a realtor, and a birthday!

I can already see that September didn’t get the memo that we were going to ease into fall. 🍂😂

Happy Wednesday, friends!
