decorating for fall, Halloween

Just in case you haven’t decorated for fall yet—hey, I get it.  We’re all busy and maybe you don’t even like this season very much…no, that can’t be it.  Who doesn’t like Thanksgiving?  One of the best holidays because there isn’t any gift buying involved and lots of good food, what’s not to like?

Come on in, doesn't this entry say "welcome"?

In any case…here are a few more fall pictures to fire up your imagination and help you with ideas for putting a few fall decorations out, natural or not.

If you feel a little chill just cover up with the throw, I'll get you a cup of tea.

Not a pumpkin in site and yet this arrangement gives you a sense of fall bounty.

Too much, have we gone too far? This image can be seen live at the Dallas Arboretum Botanical Garden.

And for my friends that really don’t care for the color orange {you know who you are}…

La Dolfina had this lovely image on her site recently---for those who prefer something other than orange this fall.

Come back and see me! Happy fall, enjoy your Halloween.

decorating for fall, fall, recipe for pumpkin bread

Since FALL is one of my favorite seasons (I love SPRING equally; I feel a bit guilty that I don’t love SUMMER and only like WINTER!)  I thought I’d post these images that I stumbled upon while visiting various blog sites that I love.

Alright all of you traditionalists, have you ever bought one of these beautiful blue-gray pumpkins? They really are beautiful. Image via Country Living

There is something wonderful about fall's natural bounty on an antique table that just feels like home. Image via Country Living

Doesn't this image conjure up a hike on a brisk, fall day? We Southern California folks might have to endure a Santa Ana condition (warm winds) but a girl can dream, right? Image via Country Living

If YOU love FALL you may be inspired to put out some pumpkins, bake a pumpkin bread (recipe below) or curl up with a good book…OR, if you’re like most in my family, watch football!

Fight on!

Note regarding this recipe:  My friend Alison has a wonderful blog site called paper{whites} and she posted about this pumpkin bread which came from a site Tulips & Flight Suits—I knew the recipe had to be good when “Tulips” says that she believes this recipe is 40% of the reason her husband married her! 🙂

Pumpkin Bread

Bread (found on Tulip & Flight Suits via paper{whites} )
