On Friday I pulled out a few Fall accents.
Enjoying a change to some Fall colors.
I’m still on the lookout for something for the porch besides my ‘Happy Fall Y’all’ sign.
I came across this next photo that makes this Baba smile. Probably taken in 2019.
There are so many things to be thankful for in this season and in all the seasons.
How is Fall/Autumn shaping up in your corner of the world or if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, how is Spring shaping up?
Happy Labor Day to us in the USA and our Canadian neighbors.
Several turkeys visited our front acre a few weeks ago. We do not water in the Summer so you can see how dry and brown things are.
Then before the end of August we had quite a downpour for several hours and things greened up nicely.
This photo above was taken on Sunday evening just before the rains came again with some good thunder.
I changed out some decor around here. What do you think? Too early? Schools start up in our town tomorrow and it just feels like Fall. As I’m typing we are having a nice downpour.
Have a great first full week of September!
I’ve added a few touches of Fall Decor for 2020. We have some exciting events happening in October. Lots of family time with our little circle and extended family, too. Fall is a favorite time around our parts. Time will tell if the Cider Festival will be happening. (So far it hasn’t been cancelled). We know the corn maze is opening soon. Hunting season opens in October, too. For Christmas our kids gifted us a family photo shoot and we are getting our clothing choices coordinated for that. We hope to get the photographer scheduled during hunting weekend when all our kids will be on this side of the mountains.
Do you have any Fall plans?
UPDATE: Sad news that the Ciderfest has been cancelled. 😦
Time for the summer scenes to be replaced with autumn. I’ll be on the search through my plates to see if I have fall flavored plates for this section of our corner cabinet.
When we were in Spokane last week I picked up a couple new fall accents at Hobby Lobby for our bungalow and instead of packing them away until September 23rd I found good spots for them right now. This fox called to me and I thought the grands would enjoy him, too. He’s soft so when the door opens and shuts it’s not a problem.
This banner that says BLESSED was plain and I bought the package of leaves to add to it.
We bought some suspenders for Dear so he could do all his bending over and kneeling down work on his new shop in comfort instead of having to adjust his trousers constantly. He found the suspender fasteners that he could apply to his work trousers and add the suspenders when he wants. Some of the lumber deliveries have been made and our garage is full of the lumber so my car will be living outside until the building begins. Right now the corner posts marks are square and ready for the auger work to excavate and then set the posts in concrete. The type of building we are adding is called a Post Frame Building.
I’ll leave you with a Spurgeon quote. He is becoming one of my favorite preachers to quote. I’m always on the lookout for any Spurgeon books I can find in thrift stores. These next quotes are from Exploring the Mind & Heart of the Prince of Preachers Compiled by Kerry James Allen
“Every time the sheep bleats, it loses a mouthful, and every time we complain we lose a blessing.”
“We need not sow thistles and brambles; they come up naturally enough, because they are indigenous to earth: and so, we need not teach men to complain; they complain fast enough without any education.”
