Written by Sue FridaySeptember 16, 2011, Yippee!! enjoying rain, temps. 60's
Nothing says fall like pumpkins, orange and golden leaves flowing from the trees, apples, lots and lots of apples,... pies, cider, apple butter, fritters,... not to mention decorating,
To be able to take these...
And make these, is another sign that fall is in the air...We are having our first fall like day, temps. are in the 60's, thirty degrees lower than yesterday. Do you see me doing a "happy dance"?
Must leave some for my taste tester,..... he came by, tasted, and gave me the thumbs up, hinting that biscuits would really make it taste better!
My kitchen not only looked like fall, but smelled like fall, There is nothing any better than the smell of apple butter, simmering on the stove. The farmhouse kitchen and I were really humming yesterday, I finished the apples for this year, apple butter, apple juice and made grape jam. Tomorrow I will finish the grapes, plans are to make juice, and grape jelly.

I have been adding a few touches of fall around the farmhouse,.
Foyer..
View from stairs...
The living room...
A few fall touches on the coffee table...
Sharing secrets.."I think we are being watched!!"
Giving of thanks.... two Turkey Creek figurines I love the expressions on their faces
"Relaxing", you know you will have to find another sitting place, once the fire is lighted.
Mantle in master bedroom...
Dining room....
I had so many gourds from the garden, that I was placing them in any thing I could find. ~smile~
The figurine was painted and given to us by our oldest grandson, about sixteen years ago, each year he is taken out with much care.
Fall is my favorite season, I have always decorated for fall, I remember when the children were small, we could hardly wait to get the decorations out. I rambled through an old photo album to find these pictures, ended up sitting for an hour reminiscing. Where did time go? and how did I get so old. ~lol~ I used to be skinny and purty too!!~still laughing~
This is my sister, Mary, along with Susan , and Dh,... Mary always came over to join in the fun.
I did have a great time today looking at one of the "old" albums, I laughed, I cried, and laughed some more.
View from dining room looking toward foyer,
Our plans are to put the outside decorations up this weekend, and the weather is so cooperating.. I can't show decorations from the kitchen today, as it is a mess! ~grin~
Until next time,
may your days be filled with love, joy, and peace.

Ecclesiastes 3:13~and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor----it is the gift of God.
P.S.
I asked dh the other night if he thought my posts were a little long. (Don't ever ask your best friend their true thoughts.) He, being the diplomat, said "I love your posts and enjoy reading them, bbuuuut they might be a little loooong." ..."What was that you said? says me.~laughing~ As you can tell, I must not of been listening, maybe next time!... naaaa!!
