Welcoming Autumn...

I adore Autumn, 
and the word Autumn sounds so much prettier than Fall, doesn't it?
Pumpkins, mums, apple cider and hooded sweatshirts, 
there is nothing about Autumn that I don't love.
Walks in the woods, leaves crunching beneath your feet,
pumpkin foods and comfort food.
Autumn also means a new...


Autumn means pretty Fall Wreaths...

A decorated front porch...

And pretty pumpkins scattered about the house.

Gentle reminders all over the house...

It's Autumn - the most beautiful time of the year!

I made this counted cross stitch many years ago,
when my boys were little and my hands allowed me to cross stitch,
and before I became obsessed with knitting.
It is a favorite of mine!

    Hello, your Autumn decorations are lovely. I like the porch and your pumpkins around the house. I guess you are working on that Autumn bucket list. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day and the week ahead!

    Your home looks wonderful all decorated for Autumn, and yes I do like that better than Fall:) Looks like a fun list to complete, did you manage to get your summer list all done? Love your little cross-stitch, after I finished my nephews cross-stitching I haven't done anything else. That light plate is awesome, great find that was! Good luck on finishing everything on your Autumn to do list!

    Oh, Debbie, your home always looks so beautiful!

    It's beginning (fingers crossed) to be a tad cooler here. :)

    Increasingly, I agree with you. And certainly so far this year, it's been beautiful.

    It looks like you're ready for autumn! The pretty wreath reminds me I need to see if last year's will work, or if I need to be in search of a new one. Love that pretty red teapot!

    I concur, lovely Debbie, that Autumn is a most beautiful word. Down here, the beautiful season of glorious hues is called Autumn. Your home is looking beautifully autumnal. The cross stitch is beautiful. I would imagine such a lot of effort went into this pretty. Love the red kettle sitting atop the stove. I can almost hear it whistling away.

    One great thing about autumn is the availability of Honey Crisp apples (for a reasonable price). They are the best. They are available year round but were recently $5.99/lb (or kg, not sure), but now they are $2.99.

    It really is a wonderful time of year, and it's been unseasonably warm here, which has been very, very nice.
    I just love your wreath. So pretty.
    xo.

    I love the gentle Autumn reminders that you have all over your home. I think that the fall colors are warm and inviting. I love Autumn; it is a favorite time of year.
    I really liked your bucket list. I do like how the two of you enjoy your life of adventure. Once upon a time I did cross stitches too; it was fun. I am hoping to get back to crocheting something wonderful. Blessings and hugs for you!
