Harvest Blessings………..

It is the simple things in life that bring the most joy. I don’t have anything fancy to share with you today, just a few pics from around my home. (OK~ Lots of pics for you to enjoy) You may want to grab a cup of pumkin spice coffee, or a cup of warm apple cider. This is a bit longer than I planned, but it is FULL of FALL!

I really enjoy fall with all that it has to offer. The cool weather, and the breeze that can get a little nippy as the leaves twirl to the ground. The bright glow of a harvest moon. The gorgeous colors on the trees. The bright colors in pumpkins and the berries on bittersweet that pop against the plain backdrop of fallen leaves. The wonderful spicy aromas that fill my home with a wonderful shout that Fall has arrived. The time that is spent indoors with family and friends, bringing you a little closer together……...

With all of that said here is just a little sampling of what I have been up to. We had a little gathering for fall with a few good friends and family.

Everyone brought some really amazing food.

We had lasagna; meatballs; rice casserole; loaded mashed potatoes; egg rolls; pasta salad; veggies and dip, and tons of appetizers and dips and chips. Everyone brought their specialty.

All of my Fall dishes are in my hutch…… my special ceramic acorn that my Dad made for me, pumpkin mugs that I made, goblets that belonged to my Mom. Lots of special memories…….
