~ Happy Fall, yall!!! ~

Fall is absolutely my favorite season!!!   Some of the reasons are...

  • Shorter days and longer evenings
  • cooler weather :)
  • bonfires and smores
  • long sleeves, sweaters and scarves
  • jeans and my cowgirl boots
  • beautiful foliage on the trees
  • fresh greens from Papaw's garden
  • several birthdays to be celebrated
  • homeschooling....nothing like one on one time with each of my children
  • crocheting a new afghan
  • fields of corn being harvested
  • gorgeous clouds
  • beautiful sunsets :)
  • the brilliant colors displayed by the flowers just before frost
  • fresh apples
  • our yearly trip to Linney's Mill for fresh ground grits and cornmeal :))
just to name a few.  I have so many things to be thankful for and most of all for the chance to experience another fall season!!! God is good all the time!!! What are some of your favorite things about fall?









Hope you have a wonderful week :)

~ Our little field trip ~

Last week my sister and I, along with Papaw David and Nana took a field trip down to the beautiful Morrow Mountain State Park.   This is something we have been wanting to do for a while but the weather has just been too hot.  Had a wonderful time.....took a picnic lunch.....did a little hiking.....toured the museum....spent quite a bit of time by the lake searching for clam shells and pretty stones.....took lots of pictures and just enjoyed being together.  I know.....I know.....I am guilty of not taking enough time out for fun days like this one....nothing like spending time with the ones you love most and letting the cousins hang out together.   Several of the grandchildren are old enough to be working so we ended up with 8 out of 15 going with us......a good sized crowd :). We even sang "Happy Birthday" to Miss Kiley!!!  Enjoy the pics :)


























 Sorry for the picture overload :)  Thank you for stopping by:)
