Turning Over a New Leaf...

Summer is almost gone and so it's gone in my home.  The only remnant of summer- central air. Since it's still summer weather here,  it's necessary to bring some of my old touches of fall back again. I need want that old fall feeling! Nothing really new, just rearranged and moved around. Ahh, the fun of re-arranging. Even if we don't have distinct changes in seasons, I create them in our home. I love Autumn, it's like the beginning of a new year, except it's not with champagne, horns or confetti.

Oh, Autumn, it's such a warm feeling,  the beauty of fall opens up so much for me, in my thoughts and in my surroundings and yes, and in my kitchen. I am waiting for that first cold snap~ I know, don't even think it or tell me that that may be a long time in coming.  I am very good at creating that feeling in my heart. I am anxious for that first pot of soup simmering on the stove and my old iron skillet filled with some scrumptious cornbread...with a few jalapeno's added for a bit of spice.

I know you all will cringe, but in September, I also get excited about Thanksgiving and Christmas! Yes, I do-

Some of my old touches of fall, I am still in the midst of creating that feeling...

I just threw him in for fun. I truly love him.  He's been around a long, long time.

I love this old wreath...still undecided about where to put it.
 

When I think of Autumn....

 This comes to mind...

Wherever you are, enjoy your day~
