“Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭133:1‬ ‭

 

Hello sweet friends. It is the third Monday of the month which means it is time for Monday Morning Blooms with my talented blogging friends.

 

“Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love—that makes life and nature harmonize.”
-George Eliot

Autumn, my favorite season has finally come to our Appalachian Foothills. Yesterday I even noticed a little color on our sugar maples!

 

You may have guessed that our common theme is pumpkin(s).

A Simple Autumn Arrangement-Monday Morning Blooms

“Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10:12‬ ‭

Hello dear friends! It is the first Monday of October which means a new edition of Monday Morning Blooms. We finally have relief from our record breaking temperatures. I must tell you while I was setting up and photographing last Thursday (October 3, 5:00 p. m.), it was 98 degrees. You will note that there are a couple of throws on the chairs, just because I was dreaming of needing them eventually!

We miss our lovely Shirley. She hopes to be back with us soon. Thank you for keeping her in your thoughts and prayers.

If you need an easy idea for a fall table, this one is perfect!

“October is the opal month of the year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness. It is the picture-month.”
-Henry Ward Beecher

Our common theme is an arrangement made with cuttings from the garden or yard. It is amazing what you can find this time of year. The box contains goldenrod, blush nandina, sunshine ligustrum, rosemary, and beautyberry. Everything was cut from my garden or on our property!

An Autumn Pitcher Of Gold – Monday Morning Blooms

~ Everyday Living, Faith, Gardening, Monday Morning Blooms

“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭

Hello dear friends! It is the third Monday of the month which means a new edition of Monday Morning Blooms with my blogging friends Mary and Lidy. We miss our precious Shirley, and are hopeful she will be able to return soon. 

Autumn officially begins one week from today. Even though it doesn’t feel like sweater weather, I have decided it is time to get in the spirit. I love all the warm colors of autumn and a pitcher filled with gold blooms welcomes the season!

Our common theme for today was to create a monochromatic arrangement…yellow and gold flowers were readily available!

I chose this sentimental stoneware pitcher that belonged to my paternal grandmother and most likely came from my great-grandmother. I love its humble country style which is perfect for my arrangement.
