Autumn is beginning and so are some Autumn hues on our property. Fall is a favorite of mine. Do you tend to say Autumn or Fall when talking about this glorious season?
Our weekend started with an early trip to Spokane to pick up Greg’s new eye glasses with his new correction that is appreciated. On the road to Spokane we pass this bill board in Clayton.
They change up the message about twice a year and I always keep an eye out for it.
On Sunday after our church service we watched the Memorial for Charlie Kirk. We appreciated several of the speakers. Erika Kirk, his widow, was an inspiration to listen to. It was a beautiful service with the Gospel of Jesus Christ shared more than once. Many shared it well. The music was beautiful and worshipful. It must have been amazing to sing with 70,000+ voices together.
Our Westside family sent photos of their experiences in California and Scotland on the weekend!
Josh and Laura were in Southern California. Our Laura and my nieces and grandniece along with my sister Kathy enjoyed a Sound of Music sing along at the Hollywood Bowl! That was epic and fun for all. They were celebrating birthdays, especially Avery’s Sixteenth!
Further birthday celebrations were enjoyed with my other sister, Vera, with nephews and grand nephew and our son, Josh.
And then all the way across the Pond in Scotland, Katie and Andrew enjoyed dinner at the same restaurant Josh, Laura, Greg and I enjoyed a year ago in Stonehaven, Scotland.
It brought back so many good memories.
Today they will be hiking to Dunnottar Castle. We’ll be waiting to hear how they survived the climb there and back again.
It’s time to pull out my Autumn/Fall swag. How was your weekend?

What a lovely autumn weekend you enjoyed! Loved all of the family pictures especially. And I tend to say autumn rather than fall…just because I don’t think autumn gets said enough. š
Hello,
I tend to say Fall. Wonderful photos. I would love to visit Scotland.
Take care, have a wonderful week.
…Ellen, your garden looks so lovely!
I hope to get a few fall things out this week too. I prefer the word autumn for some reason, but sometimes fall fits better into a sentence. We watched the service too. It was heartwarming to see/hear the gospel shared to such a large audience. Overall the politicians who spoke did well too. I wish I were having dinner in Scotland : ) Have a nice week!
I usually say “fall” . . .but autumn is a beautiful word to me! I need to get out some more decorations!!
Autumn is such a beautiful season. I find the word more pleasant than “fall.” But I use both. A sing-a-long to the Sound of Music would be so much fun! Happy autumn days to you.
It’s always known as Autumn here! And we don’t really decorate, but I do enjoy seeing the decorations you have in USA and Canada.
I’m sure your young people will be enjoying their trip in a very beautiful area.
I say fall more than autumn. Your yard is beautiful. Love all the fall colors. What a fun thing to have your family visit the same places you did last year! The Sound of Music, we saw it in the theater last week, it made me feel like a kid a again. I actually got butterflies in my stomach waiting for it to begin! I bet the sing-a-long was a blast!
I always say Fall. I do like Fall but not ready to say goodby to Summer quite yet. We had a delightful summer!!!
lovely to have reminders of your trip to Scotland. Canāt believe thatās already a year ago. B x
I have gone to one of those sing-alongs at the Bowl many years ago. We saw some cute kids in costumes as well as strange folks being strange.
That service was amazing. All the stats around it make me think of Matthew 24:12.
Simply beautiful, wishing you a one-of-a-kind fall!
I love your snapshots of fall, Ellen – and yes, I use Fall. I like to use Autumn too, but not as often. Your pictures paint a beautiful pictures of happy times and places with people you love!
Thank you for such an interesting post Ellen. Very thought provoking. Lovely to see your family enjoying themselves.
