Autumn On The Kitchen Porch

“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8:1‬ ‭

Happy Thursday dear friends. I was finally able to find heirloom pumpkins yesterday. The shop owner said they were very hard to get this year because so much rain hindered planting and then drought conditions ensued. I was excited to finally decorate my small kitchen porch for autumn and for Ella Mae to enjoy.

I love stacking colorful pumpkins!

Yellow pumpkins were in abundance, and I immediately was smitten.READ MORE

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:31‬ ‭ 

Hello dear readers and welcome October! Be sure to read to the bottom of this post for the winner of our giveaway. This is my favorite month of the year for so many different reasons. We will celebrate my precious Daddy’s 89th birthday this coming Sunday at our home. My birthday comes at the end of the month, and if you saw Sunday’s post you saw my fabulous early birthday surprise from Renaissance Man! I love October, not just for birthday celebrations, but because it is the month that leaves begin their colorful display of reds, golds, and oranges. The sky turns to a brilliant shade of blue and the autumn light is magical. And of course, I love all things pumpkin! Join me at the table as we welcome October!

Using the warm colors of autumn, I set my garden table for a late afternoon dinner.

“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:14-18‬ ‭

Hay and yellow mums are a fall staple. If the mums only lasted a bit longer!

Even a view from beside the porch reveals that fall must be here (in spite of continued record high temps)!READ MORE
