Fall is in the air, and the October Round Table decorations were planned to celebrate the season. These decorations have to be simple because we set up the morning of the luncheon, and must plan time to plate the food also. A “welcome board” greeted the ladies to our gathering. Since our speaker has written […]
It is about that time of year. The time when bright orange pumpkins are carved and turned into jack-o-lanterns. A few days ago, I was looking through old photographs, and I found this picture. I am sure many of you have similar pictures. Creating jack-o-lanterns was a yearly tradition. It began with a trip to the […]
It is Fall Festival time at the Dallas Arboretum, and just like a multitude of other parents and grandparents we wanted to take Pretty Baby for a photo shoot. As we started on our quest, I had a few misgivings. It was HOT. (Tied for the hottest day on this date.) Plus, Pretty Baby had […]
It is September. School has begun. The official passing of summer – Labor Day – has come and gone. For weeks other blogs have been posting fall decor. I thought it time I got with the program. I love this time of year. Autumn brings such beautiful changes. Initially, I thought I would only get […]
Hard to believe. October came and went, and I did not get to go to the Arboretum. Not one single day did I visit the gardens. I love going to the Arboretum. It is one of my most favorite things to do in the entire world. I like it. I love it. (Alas -The State […]
Beautiful – Absolutely beautiful! Seeing touches of autumn at The Mrs.’ home made my heart go pity-pat. Oh, how I loved the pumpkin topiaries that greeted us at the front door. I kept walking outside just to look at them. It could not have been easy to find the right shape, color, and size of […]
At 5:44 P.M. Central daylight time on September 22, 2013, autumn officially began. That is the time of the Autumnal Equinox – the time when the sun passes over the Earth’s equator and day and night are about equal. Yes, summer is officially over. It is time to begin thinking about cooler days, fall decor, […]
A visit to Super Sister’s home is always wonderful. I am here to tell you that it is better than going to a bed and breakfast. Be still my heart! This is what I saw when I drove into her driveway. If you want to be inspired by fall decor, this is the place to […]
Blame it on Pinterest. My fall board is full of gorgeous fall decorations. Blame it on The Christmas Tree Shops – They were selling pumpkins in early September. Blame it on the weather – It turned almost cold. Fall was in the air. Blame it on the Dallas Arboretum and their 50,000 pumpkins. This year I […]
The Dallas Arboretum – beautiful plants and flowers – Chihuly glass adorning the gardens (until November 5) – and then if you thought it couldn’t get any better – they add 50,000 pumpkins. Yes, 50,000! (The farmers around Floydada, Texas must be rich and happy.) Sweet Mother of Pearl! Words escape me to describe fall […]
