Fall garden and fall decorating.
Looking forward to my mums opening up. My clay pumpkin has made it out to the front porch.
Gone will be all the fresh berries of summer.
But oh how I love that I can bake cookies again and serve them with a pot of hot tea.
It will soon be time to take down the summer decor. I believe the fall boxes will come down this weekend.
Oh how I love cool evenings and rainy days to snuggle with a favorite blanket.
And if you grow anything in your garden next year, plan on some cucumbers. A fresh picked cucumber tastes so wonderful. You will never want a store bought one again. I plant a couple of vines a year and plug in some new seeds around mid summer and I pick around two to three a week.
How random is that? Ending with cucumbers.
Nothing wrong with a random post. I love that red quilt, just beautiful. We have a nice cloudy day here and I'm enjoying the cooler weather while i can. Got a big pot of homemade marinara on the stove, almost feels like autumn, even here in phoenix.
ReplyDeleteLove you mums and pumpkin! Adore your red and white quilt. Love, Love, Love quilts! I live on cucumbers! a great ending to a great post!
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine. Yes the fresh cukes are to die for. So much flavor. I have pulled the rest of my garden out now. The severe heat we had just fried the last of it. Next year I will be planting more cukes too! I put in extra this summer, the packet said cukes, but they turned out to be cantaloupe, which were wonderful too! I am in the process of doing my fall decor too. I hope to finish up this weekend. Wish the pumpkins were in the markets though. LOVE those all over the place!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteI dearly love all of your red decor touches! And you are so right about home grown cukes. I am on vacation at my daughters and she has cukes in her garden, what a treat!
Have a great Fall-ish day!
Hugs, Cindy
Super cute decor! I want to grow some cucumber!
ReplyDeleteI've already started baking apple pies and apple crisps! Waiting on changing the decor a little longer, but I am ready for this heat to be gone! Love your Fall decor! I admit, I did buy a few pumpkins and a big candle holder already.

I want a better look at that blanket/throw and your couch....
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfect ending! I have cucumbers still growing here...I love them! I like how you put your mums in a bucket...I have a bucket just like that!
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures today. Loving the red. Cukes are yummy home grown.
ReplyDeleteI think the red quilt it a hit! I'm thinking about making one now.
ReplyDeleteOnly one week of summer left *sadface* I have enjoyed all of your summer decorations. I look forward to your autumn ones, too, Elaine!

Oh your brick is just gorgeous! It really showcases your fall bounty.
ReplyDeleteThank you SO very much for linking up to Fall In Love Wednesday.
Elaine, Your pictures are beautiful and I love the quilt. I started decorating for Fall today and then it got so hot we had to turn on the airconditioner! Thanks for joining the Open House party.
