FALL In Love with Texas Blog Tour

I am joining other TEXAS bloggers
for this years FALL IN LOVE WITH TEXAS.

Our sweet  KATIE of Let's Add Sprinkles blog
has organized this fun hop for several years now.
Please go over and visit...
 I think the best part of Fall is all the cute pumpkins...
I've posted about them many times.
I LOVE em' all
real...
fake...excuse me, faux...
painted...
natural...
big...
little...
but what really...REALLY gives a pumpkin it's personality...
a really cool stem....

 
Baby Boos are my favorite...
and they nearly always have really cool STEMS.


Some of my pumpkin photos are from archives...


...love the Cinderella pumpkins.
I used floor polish to give these beauties the shine they deserved !!


Even tomatoes can strut their stuff
with a fabulous STEM on top....


Our days are warm...
early mornings and late nights are cool...

UPDATE on the weather here...
we've had lots and lot of fall rain and LOVE it...
also the temps are falling fast..!!






I am trying to hang on to summer as long as I can...

"They" are predicting a cold, snow filled winter this year.

I like winter...'
and I like the snow...
as long as I don't have to get out in it...😰

The older I get,
the harder it is to stay warm...
This little blue chair is so so special...
my girl bought it for me..
Thank you, Stacy.... I still love it.


Even the little ceramic BOOS are adorable....


I love the dark orange of this little fella...
and his strong, he-man stem....


and....because it's hard to do a post for you without COOKING for you....


 I made PANCAKES....
♥ ♥ ♥
  

and while they were cooking,
I started gathering table settings that go right along with AUTUMN.


pumpkins and  sunflowers...





 I was able to do all this fallness without dragging out
the 3 bins of FALL....
I may or I may not get out too much more this year...


Because the morning was just beautiful,
I took my breakfast outside...
 ♥ ♥ ♥





and the BUTTERFLIES were darting and feeding on the
flowers left in the Wild Flower Garden...
all the flowers are about gone now but I sure enjoyed them all summer.

How's THAT to enjoy with your
FALL BREAKFAST !!! 

Thanks so much for stopping by here for a visit...
and I hope you will visit the following Texans...



This is a favorite photo of 5 of the 7 grandgirls
 taken a few years back at a TEXAS RODEO...



and TEXAS GIRLS love their boots....
and yep...I love TEXAS GIRLS.



Be sure to visit these other bloggers...they have all outdone themselves to please you.
Thanks so much for visiting me.

LOVE TO ALL....bj

  2. I love those baby boos and the Cinderella Pumpkins. I had no idea that floor polish can be used to shine pumpkins. Heck I neve even thought about shining a pumpkin until now.

  3. BJ, what a fun post. I know which of those little cuties is Deeds.:) Your little sweethearts have grown up. What cute pumpkins too. I have white ceramic that once had a candle in it. I will take the tiny pancake in the very center. Only because it's all crispy. I am not a pancake eater...but I have eaten tiny crispy ones with syrup.LOL Have a butterfly come to breakfast is a special treat from nature. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie

  4. So sweet bj. I love all your cute pumpkins. I agree. The stems are important. I'm so glad the weather is finally cooling down a bit. It's down right chilly this morning.

  10. I love all the pumpkins and your pretty fall decor. I find the older I get the less I decorate. Too much work but I do enjoy seeing what everyone else does and yes Texas does it up big!

  12. Hi there, you gathered such a pretty assortment of pumpkins! Lovely! I'll be highlighting today's Texas bloggers on Instagram later today. Happy to be touring with you. Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction

  13. Your every post is such a treat! I love how you do your photos and your words! When I saw those three small white pumpkins, I was reminded of a post you did years ago. I may have been living in the camper down at Katy then. Anyway, I remember thinking the pic you did of them was as pretty as a painting! If I waited for fall weather before I decorated - well, I don’t think I’d get to decorate at all!

  14. Out of all the beautiful pics, I'm going to mention the one that got me drooling - oh how I would love to be eating those pancakes with you. I never eat pancakes anymore and they look so tasty.

    I did my drawing and the random integer out of 30 that came up was #10 which was you. I'm not going to post it right away because I just posted my porch blog tour post and I want it to get seen for a few days. But, I will need you to email me your address.

    Congrats!

  15. Hi BJ, This is such a fun post. You have so many lovely Autumn things to pull out each year. I love, love, love all your tablewar,e especially those colorful place-mats. They are gorgeous!!! This is a fun Blog Hop, I'm looking forward to meeting more Texas bloggers and seeing their homes. I lived in Texas for a small portion of my life and the thing that I remember most is how warm and friending the people are. I got so used to saying hello to everyone I saw with the Texas greeting, "Good Morning Hon" (or afternoon, LOL). I moved back to Northern Indiana and was walking down the street and greeted a passer with a hardy "Good morning Hon", and got a dirty look . . . like who do you thing you are calling me Hon. It was an eye opener to how different our cultures are right here in the USA.
    Well I can say it to you . . . Have a sweet day, Hon!

  22. Wonderful post...looks like your doing autumn in a "big, glorious Texas way". Those pancakes look delicious!

  23. BJ, I'm with you. I adore just about every pumpkin. And it's the stem that I look for when selecting a real pumpkin or even the faux pumpkins that use real stems. The stem has to have a personality! Thanks for sharing fall in west Texas. Enjoy!

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..
