It’s Autumn On The Sunshine Cottage Porch

~ Autumn, Fall, Sunshine Cottage

Happy Thursday sweet friends. Today is my sweet Daddy’s 92nd birthday. We had a celebration last night and will enjoy a small party this afternoon. I am preparing some of his favorite dishes. When I asked what he would like for dessert, he said, “ a banana pudding sure would be good.” I am making it just like my beloved Mother always did. We are so thankful that he still lives at home and his mind and memory are excellent. He is a beautiful blessing to our family and all who know him.

“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:9-10‬ ‭

It is so much fun to decorate the cottage porch for seasons and holidays. Not much changed from last year’s autumn porch!READ MORE

Hello sweet friends and Happy October! By now, you all know autumn is my favorite season. Have I mentioned that October is my favorite month?

“Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:33‬ ‭

It is the first Monday of the month which means Monday Morning Blooms with my friends Mary and Lidy! Fall is the most ideal season for setting a table in the garden!READ MORE

“But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭13:5-6‬ ‭

I was out for a walk at sunrise on September’s last day and decided to head east toward the river. Our mornings last week were very clear, not a cloud anywhere, but not so on Friday. I realized that I was likely seeing some clouds to the east that were there because of Hurricane Ian. That gave me pause and prompted me to pray for all the folks impacted by the storm as well as those who would be hit later that day!READ MORE
