A Time Of Harvest – Floral Friday

~ Autumn, Floral Friday

 “with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:2-3‬

Hello dear friends! Can you believe we are already in November, it seems impossible. I am so glad you are here because it is the first Friday of the month which means I am joining my blogging friends for another edition of Floral Friday! If you are here by way of Shirley, Mary, or Lidy, welcome to Everyday Living. I hope you have time to stay and visit as we celebrate a time of harvest.

  Our common theme for today is harvest. What do you think of when you hear that word? I immediately think of the time of the year when you gather crops that are mature or ripe. I think about my grandparents who planted and harvested everything by hand. They depended on the harvest to feed their eight children through the long winter months. I also think of the laws of the harvest that are found in scripture, “you will reap what you sow.” Harvest always reveals what we have sown, whether naturally or spiritually. The celebration of harvest is a time to thank God for His blessings and His bountiful provisions.

My photo reminds me of a still life painting that I have hanging in a hallway.

Autumn Bliss At Home

~ Autumn, Everyday Living, Family, Outdoors

  “Let all that you do be done in love.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭16:14‬ ‭

Hello dear friends. We have had the most beautiful weather the last few days! Ella Mae and I have been spending time playing outside. She is at the age where she is so much fun and she keeps me running. Yes, I am getting lots of exercise!

I know you might be getting tired of hearing me say that autumn is my favorite season, but it truly is. I was looking back over some previous posts a few days ago to make sure I wasn’t duplicating a tablescape. Can you believe, I don’t remember? I saved a few photos to my Ipad that I thought would be fun to share with you again. We are dipping back into the archives from the last couple of years. I am not going to talk much…I hope you enjoy autumn bliss at home!

Tablescape Tuesday: Autumn’s Harmony

~ Autumn, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:7-8‬ ‭

Hello sweet friends!  I do hope your week is off to a great start.  Our weekend was packed with lots of fun activities and food!  We attended a beautiful outdoor wedding on Sunday afternoon with perfect fall weather…bright blue skies, a gentle breeze and 75 degree temps…it was a picturesque day! We will attend another wedding this Saturday…apparently, autumn has become a favorite season for weddings! In the midst of busy, I did find time for tablescaping on the patio.  With the perfect blend of gorgeous light, bold colors, distinct smells, and rustic texture, it strikes a chord of Autumn’s Harmony! 

It occurred to me that I had not set a table on the patio since early July.  So with little effort this table came together using what I had!

I have bins of fall “stuff” that I have collected over the years including several Department 56 pumpkins.  Three of them were dusted off and became a part of the centerpiece.READ MORE
