Early Autumn Blessings
Wow, this week it seems like fall has slipped in around the corner and into the countryside where we live. The mornings have been quite brisk. Mid-day it is warm, but when the sun lowers just a tad in the early evening, the chill sets in once again. I have to say I’m enjoying it after some pretty hot days last summer. As we were taking a walk after supper last night I mentioned to my husband that fall is becoming a favorite season. I love the long shadows in the early evening, the crickets chirping, the comfort of a throw on my lap while on the backyard swing, and the brisk morning temperatures. I’m also seeing the beginning of colors in the trees and bushes. Beautiful.🍂
Cozy, Inviting Fall Decor
Happy November! This has been a gorgeous fall season in Tennessee! The colors have been amazingly vibrant! The temps have been cool in the morning and warm in the afternoon. Perfection!
My kitchen chalkboard says that “All at once, summer collapses into fall,” but in reality, it happens gradually. Each day becomes a little shorter, the mornings slowly get cooler, the leaves gradually change colors, and then fall to the ground. That’s the same way I like to add fall decor to my home – gradually. Myquilin Smith taught me that decor philosophy several years ago, and I just love that method. It feels natural, because it is.

The Best Day At the Apple Orchard
My girls and I have birthdays two weeks apart from one another, beginning with Alli on August 21. Two weeks later it’s my birthday, and two weeks later Whitney celebrates hers. For Alli’s celebration this week, she wanted to go to Skytop Apple Orchard in Flat rock, NC and she invited Dale and me to join her and her family. I was excited to go because I’d heard about this pretty orchard, but had never been.
The weather couldn’t have been any better! The temps were cool, and the sky clear with plenty of sunshine. We got there at 10:00. I wore a cotton “sweatshirt” and was glad for the long sleeves! It felt like a fall day, though I’m sure we still have plenty of warm days ahead. The cool temps allowed us to enjoy all the fun things they have to offer at Sky Top.
