A little bit more of Autumn

OCTOBER...
what a beautiful month.
Here on the Plains of West Texas, it's been one of the best we've ever had.

When it rained the other day, it didn't last nearly long enuf....
it did, however, encourage me to put out just a bit more of
Fall at the Summer House.




I like the golds and whites of Autumn
faux flowers but

 I don't care for the bright orange of fauxs the stores are full of.

I love the real leaves of orange, dark red and amber.

The leaves on trees here in West Texas don't change to beautiful colors like in other states....and, we don't have many trees.



I saw this row of Autumn color one day, leaving the park...
I'm pretty sure these trees were planted just so they
could put on the FALL SHOW....
and I'm glad they did.....just beautiful.


I have a few more Autumn decorations but not sure I'll put them all out this year.
I'll get a few more out next week, tho, to have thru Thanksgiving.


I love the reflection of my special room in my mother's vintage mirror...
somehow, it makes me feel she is near.

Of course, looking at the mirror, everything in the room looks backwards
and it's FREAKIN ME OUT.

Even my little COW CREAMER wanted to get in on the 
Autumn show.....:>)

Autumn always brings one of my favorite treats to mind.....


DATE NUT LOAF....ummmm
xoxo, bj

  8. I'm glad to hear weather has been good. I had heard Hurricane Patricia was suppose to come to Texas but it went through Mexico and Texas with minimal damage for the hurricane power it was suppose to have

  9. Autumn is a pretty time of the year. We have been having rain and wind the past two days so the trees are losing their leaves fast. Your date nut loaf looks delicious. Have a blessed day, Madeline

  10. I keep "grabbing" your pics of your mirrored window frames. Because I so want to do that here. On either side of the fireplace, on the all brick (dark) wall.

    And look!!!!! Today you show the same idea, in your house! Wheeeeee.... Another 'template' to show my husband. He who makes my 'Ideas" happen. Like Mr. Sweet.

    Often such mirrored windows, are made of old windows. Like shabby chic... Which to me equals expensive. 'Cause if people have these old windows, they want money for them.

    but a handy man can just make a window frame. with wood, and paint it. and sand a bit off, if it looks too New, for the old brick wall.

    It's the mirror part, that costs. -pout- And I am soooooo Scotch, that I hate to spend money. But!!! I so want that wall to be a wee bit 'brighter.' -sigh- :-) Well, it's a possibility. And seeing yours, has given me more umph, to set it in motion. Thank you Honey-Bun!!!!!!

    Pumpkin hugs,
    Tessa

  11. I love the golds you have added. I'm glad to see you did get a little fall color in those trees, so pretty! I hate the faux oranges (and browns! Yuck!) that I see in stores now to. Although I love the natural colors I am finding outside.

  15. Dear bj. Love your look for Fall. I have not done much for Fall either ... mantel and dining table is about all. Been too busy finishing up the bath remodel. I love those colored trees. We don't have many trees here that turn pretty colors, but enjoy what we have.

  24. We are experiencing autumn in Greece this year and have just planted lettuce which we will harvest in 60 days or less and yesterday planted a pomegranate in 73-degree weather. It is different well, maybe I should say, delightful! Love your fall colors though!

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
