“They do not say in their hearts, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives the rain in its season, the autumn rain and the spring rain, and keeps for us the weeks appointed for the harvest.’” Jeremiah 5:24
Maybe it’s a little early but there are some hints and glimpses of autumn showing up around north Alabama. More than hints if you browse through some of the local retail shops. But even outside we are catching an occasional preview of things to come. The angle of the light, the early blooming goldenrods, cooler nights ahead, and the sweet smell of kudzu blooms (yes, kudzu)!
Since fall is my favorite season, there’s surely no harm in dreaming about it. So, I’ve decided to take a look back at just a few of the things that make it a special time. As I did, memories made the dream seem to come alive. And, I have to wonder, what are some of your favorite things about autumn?

“The fear of the Lord is instruction in wisdom, and humility comes before honor.”
Proverbs 15:33
It seems that we just began summer and so soon it will be gone! Everything Autumn is popping up all over blogland and in stores. I have a slight nod to fall in today’s tablescape set in the garden with sunflowers taking center stage. Joining the sunflowers is a patchwork tablecloth my sweet Mother made for me soon after I got married. You are invited to pull up a chair for “patchwork and sunflowers”!!
The setting was quick and easy with the patchwork tablecloth and sunflowers being the stars!
The sunflower blooms were so heavy that I had to place each bloom in a bottle to prevent them from toppling over!
