Dear Sisters,
What is it about late fall that gets us farmgirls feeling so darned sentimental? Maybe I’m just getting soft the older I get. I turned 52 last week for heavens sake! Perhaps it has something to do with the leaves on the trees popping all around us like fireworks sending tracers of burnished red, harvest gold, brilliant yellow and deep purple slowly to the ground where they’ll lie until someone comes along with a rake and scoops them up into a pile. Or maybe it’s because we’ve finally succumbed to trading in our flip flops for fuzzy sox, swapped out the BBQ for the crockpot and tucked the garden in for a long winters nap. I like to think it has something to do with the beauty,comfort and peace another holiday season promises. I’m feeling festive already just thinking about what’s to come and grateful. Very, very grateful…How about you?
Your article and gardens are wonderful. I love your dog. My oldest doxie plucks tomatoes from my garden. He also indulges in hot peppers. Doesn’t even react. I love him! Aren’t our four-legged loved ones fun?
I love vintage "things". So glad to meet a fellow sister who loves them too!
Howdy Sylvia! So glad you stopped by and enjoyed this entry! Yes, our four-legged loved ones are the best! Nice to meet ya! Deb
I share your sentiments my dear about the love of home , changing seasons and walking down my garden paths.
Picked up a pretty cross stitched picture that says it all: "My Feet May Go, But My Heart Stays Home" which hangs alongside family pictures and winter wall hanging just finished with snowmen, sleds and mittens on it.
Walking thru my gardens is a must for me every morning, there is something priceless there, even though nothing is growing in the Ozarks right now, but I treasure that time of day to pray and greet every morning while out with my dogs.
A simple country treasure that I would not miss for the world!
Happy Thanksgiving from the Ozarks of Missouri, Diana
Hi Diana! Simple country pleasures are some of the best medicine aren’t’ they? And priceless as you say. So nice of you to stop by and leave me a note! Thanks for reading Diane! xo Deb
Hi Deb! Now that the 50th anniversary party we put on for hubs parents is a past tense I am back to blogging and commenting. Love the pink dresser! I just used chalk paint for the first time and that is what my post is about today. Wish I had a room for this pink. Pretty! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a yummy day after meal.
Hi there Brenda! Nice to have you back in the blogging world! You were missed here at the beach farmgirl blog! I’ll pop over to see your project! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!! xo Deb
A belated happy birthday to you! I hope it was wonderful. The dresser looks terrific and I bet both grammies love your home. Congratulations on the cabbage roses bedding.
We had a power outage in San Francisco Tuesday evening and though I had plenty of candles and a flashlight, I miss the oil lamp I used to have before I went on the road for seven years in my motorhome. That will be the Thanksgivukkah present for this year. Enjoy your holiday!
Thank you, Adrienne! An oil lamp sounds like a great idea! We’ve got a couple too and they get good use when we lose power as well! Happy Thankgivukkah to you!
