A Glorious October Afternoon

~ Autumn, Everyday Living, Faith, Monday Morning Blooms

Hello sweet friends. I can’t remember a more perfect start to October…cobalt blue skies, cool crisp nights, and mild sun-filled days!

 

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:32‬ ‭

 
 

Autumn is my favorite season and October is my favorite month! It is also my birth month. More importantly, my sweet Daddy’s birthday is tomorrow and he turns 90, what a milestone! We will have a small celebration for him and a bigger one on Saturday. Be looking for a future post about my amazing Daddy!

 

It is Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends and we are sharing flower inspiration! Please join me for a glorious October afternoon.

 

 

With the gorgeous fall afternoons, it called for a table to be set in the garden. I plan on enjoying these glorious days as much as possible!

 

The links for my friends’ autumn flower therapy and inspiration is at the bottom of this post.READ MORE

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 309

“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.””
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭52:7‬ ‭

Last week Pam and I were a few miles apart, as she was home in Alabama, and I was camped out in Montana. On SSSunday, we typically share a variety of things we have both encountered around home while going about our everyday living. Today we have chosen to deviate a little, keeping it simple, but not quite as “southern”! It was a blessing to have an opportunity to spend some days with our son Seth, and a few friends, in the great outdoors!

As the sun is coming up behind us, we are traveling on wet ground at around 5000 feet but snow fell during the night at slightly higher elevations. In fact it is still snowing on the peaks in front of us. We did hit these ridges later in the morning but abundant sunshine had taken care of the snow before we trekked that far.

Speaking of camping…Seth and I lived here for 6 nights. The wood stove kept us cozy at night. A wall tent is a bit more roomy than a pup tent! READ MORE

Happy October sweet friends! I can’t believe the calendar has turned another page. An unusual year to say the least, 2020 is three fourths history!

“Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness!”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭150:1-2‬ ‭

‭What would autumn be without orange pumpkins and yellow mums? They might be appearing on the porch of the Sunshine Cottage, let’s take a look!

“My favorite color is October.”
-unknown

It appears that autumn might have exploded on the porch of the Sunshine Cottage!

Heirloom pumpkins have been stacked and a little wooden wheelbarrow is loaded with pumpkins, gourds, and ornamental corn.READ MORE
