It' Fall Ya'll

I have a deep love for this time of year. Perhaps it was my childhood spent in the Ozark mountains but I love the color change, the smell of a wood fire, and crisp mornings followed by mostly sunshine filled afternoons. I love football season, homecoming parades, school carnivals, Halloween costumes(well,the cute ones),and the pinnacle of the season--Thanksgiving!
Therefore, I go a little overboard and love to transform my living space to reflect what God so supremely does in decorating the outside world.




So here's a little tour.
Front porch. Don't love it this year. I have a black concrete container that I prefer to use this time of year but I got this basket (with all the plants) for a bargain very early in the season so I'm going with that.
During high winds this morning, the fern took a tumble out of the bucket turning the whole stand over into the mums (which I just replaced yesterday due to some previous mum neglect). The new mums are crushed in the back and will surely die.
I am death to plants.


Come on inside--the heart of the home, the kitchen. where the finest take out is ordered.











Kitchen table. With or without candlesticks? I can't decide.










No flat surface is safe.












I love this rattan tray/basket I got from Target last year. Hubby-- does not like it so much. He usually moves it from the ottoman to the floor. Maybe the candy corn will change his mind.










The way they were. Love this. Love them.










Thanks for stopping by. Come again.

Gina, found you over at Rhoda's! I love your fall decorations! So sorry about the plants. :( I looked in your kitchen and I thought wow it looks like she is in my kitchen! I believe our cabinets are the same color and the countertops too! Also, the layout looks the same - except you've got two windows over the sink? I was shocked. Enjoyed looking and thanks for sharing. I am your newest follower - drop by my place when you can.
