Tea On The Sunshine Cottage Porch

~ Autumn, Fall, Sunshine Cottage, Tea On Tuesdays

Hello sweet friends. Leaves are falling and it is time for warm boots as it is predicted to drop below freezing tonight in our Appalachian Foothills. Most often our first frost is toward the end of October, so a little early!

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭

It is Tea on Tuesdays with my friend, Mary, and our special guest, Bonnie from Living With Thanksgiving. Bonnie is a fellow Alabamian, gardener, traveler, tea drinker, and lovely friend!READ MORE

Autumn Days In The Sunshine Cottage

~ Autumn, Everyday Living, Fall, Sunshine Cottage

Hello sweet friends. I hope your week is going well. It has been a busy week around our house. RM completed the fire pit and we are planning on having our first fire and s’mores this weekend!

“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭90:12‬ ‭

I think I am getting slower in accomplishing tasks. Can you relate? It is almost the middle of October and I have not finished fall decorating in the cottage. Come inside and have a look at what I have completed.

Playing with dishes has become a hobby since the cottage was built. The shelves give me the opportunity to display seasonal dishware.READ MORE

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
