Sunday Chat and Fall Color
Fall is coming into some color now, and the turkeys are back. This bachelor flock of four are coming by frequently now. It is fun to see them appear, pecking around for tidbits and acorns. They are a bit shy, only one will come close enough to get a bite of whole grain bread thrown …
Autumn Quilts for Decorating

Autumn Tablescapes
Finally, it is officially Autumn, my favorite season of the year, although it isn't cool enough yet for the sweaters and a fire in the fireplace. Now, I can get out all the pumpkins and leaves I love, decorate the house and create a tablescape or two. I love the colors of this season as …

Breakfast is baking and filling the house with the aroma of sausage, eggs and cheese. Later will be football games, and phone calls to family out of state. Turkey will be …
