Simple + Southern Sunday No. 467

~ Autumn, Fall, Simple + Southern Sunday

“Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.””
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I was able to take delight in another October sunrise last week. I occasionally wish there was some way to include a pause button in real life.

Autumn At Home

~ Autumn, Fall, October

Happy Thursday, sweet friends. Our weather has been glorious the last few days with beautiful sunlight, blue skies, and perfect temperatures…autumn at its best!

“There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.”
‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭2‬:‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

There is no place we would rather be than our home in the Appalachian Foothills. As we get older, this hillside gets sweeter and sweeter. Reminiscing a couple of days ago, I looked back through the archives and collected a few photos that I hope you will enjoy that I simply call ‘autumn at home’!

The Sunshine Cottage offers an inviting place to relax, read, and take an afternoon nap. Biscotti and hot chocolate are delicious on a cool autumn afternoon!READ MORE

October Tea In The Cottage Garden

~ Autumn, Fall, Sunshine Cottage, Tea On Tuesdays

Hello my friends. October, my favorite month, is more than half over! I am doing my best to cherish every day before it is gone!

“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭19‬:‭21‬ ‭

“In the entire circle of the year, there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October.”
~ Alexander Smith
