“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you. Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:23-26‬ ‭

“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭

Happy Thursday dear friends. I was finally able to find heirloom pumpkins yesterday.

I was excited to finally decorate my small kitchen porch for autumn and for Ella Mae to enjoy.

I love stacking colorful pumpkins!

Yellow pumpkins were in abundance, and I immediately was smitten.READ MORE

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:31‬ ‭ 

Hello dear readers and welcome October! Be sure to read to the bottom of this post for the winner of our giveaway. This is my favorite month of the year for so many different reasons. We will celebrate my precious Daddy’s 89th birthday this coming Sunday at our home. My birthday comes at the end of the month, and if you saw Sunday’s post you saw my fabulous early birthday surprise from Renaissance Man! I love October, not just for birthday celebrations, but because it is the month that leaves begin their colorful display of reds, golds, and oranges. The sky turns to a brilliant shade of blue and the autumn light is magical. And of course, I love all things pumpkin! Join me at the table as we welcome October!
