Simple + Southern Sunday No. 466

~ Autumn, Fall, Simple + Southern Sunday

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

My best laid plans often never materialize, or are forced to change. Sometimes that is a real blessing. Thankfully my plans to get out early a few mornings last week worked out well however, and I was able to enjoy several great October sunrises. The small crescent moon was sharing the sky with Venus, but you really have to look closely to see the planet…Pam found it!READ MORE

A Grand(s) Halloween Party

~ Autumn, Blog hop, Fall, Halloween tablescapes

Happy Tuesday, sweet friends. Autumn has finally arrived in our Appalachian Foothills! We have enjoyed the most gorgeous autumn weather for the past three days with lows in the lower 40’s and highs in the low 70’s.

“Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭17‬:‭27‬ ‭

I am excited to join sixteen table stylists for a Halloween Tablescape Blog Hop hosted by my friend, Rita from Panoply. You will find the links for all the creative tablescapes at the bottom of this post! Now join me for A Grand(s) Halloween Party on the patio!

To let you in on a little secret, I am not a big fan of Halloween. But, I must admit that I had a lot of fun setting up this tablescape for my three grandchildren!READ MORE

Simple + Southern Sunday No. 465

~ Autumn, Fall, Simple + Southern Sunday

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

I enjoyed a warm, pleasant, October morning while on a sunrise walk through the fields last week. The mornings are cooling off now however, with the cold front that made its way south yesterday bringing low-to-mid 40’s. For everything there is a season, and perhaps sweatshirt or hoodie season is upon us…at least for the early morning hours! How is autumn shaping up where you live?READ MORE
