Fall Outfit Ideas

RefreshHer2 Comments

The month of October…wow! It has been glorious! We’ve had cool mornings and evenings with warm, sunshine in-between. The colors on the trees are turning yellows and reds, with clear blue skies as the backdrop. Though I love summer, I’m beginning to wonder if October might be the best month of the year!

I’m trying to squeeze in every front porch rocking chair moment and back porch swing I can, knowing that this won’t last forever! Soon enough I’ll be peeking out of frosted glass onto a frozen tundra outside.

In the meantime, I’m finding it a bit challenging to know how to dress each day. With the swing in temps, it’s hard to have on the right kind of clothes for the change that happens mid-day. Do you struggle, too? My go-to is LAYERS. I usually try to find thin layers in the fall. My season of life also has to be taken into account!! I went to my closet this week and pulled out a few ideas. If you need a little inspiration, I hope this will help!

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.

My Awesome God On Display

RefreshHer4 Comments

This month has been very full and very busy. It’s easy at times like this to get focused on all the happenings, on my fatigue, or the hardships, and overlook all the wonders of my God. When I stopped to consider what He has done, I came up with quite a list!

With the splendor of fall’s colors at every turn, I’ve certainly seen His beauty, His Creative hand, and His majesty!

I’ve also seen God’s providence. After being with my parents for seven days, I came home and my heart wanted to stay there. But in God’s providence, He had my husband scheduled to speak at the Senior Adult Conference at The Wilds of North Carolina. More than wanting to be home, I wanted to be there to support Dale in the ministry that God has called him to. So, we happily packed our bags and headed south on Tuesday. God knew exactly what I really needed. If you’ve ever had the blessing of attending camp at The Wilds, you know what refreshment it brings to your heart and life. When we arrived, we had already been “Ooo-ing” and “Ahhh-ing” over the fall colors, but the campsite was breathtaking.

Before the first meal, we were invited to take a selfie at this cute display.
