Snapshots of Autumn

Leaf clean up week has arrived at our house!! The trees along our street are beautiful but they require a week or two of constant cleanup every fall.......

DJ and the girls cleaned up the side yard Friday

Our tree lined street is so nice to come home to in the fall!

The leaves dance as they fall to the ground


The very word autumn brings a sense of warmth, coziness, soft lamps, crackling fires, flickering candles and the tantalizing smells of cinnamon and pumpkin :)


I thought I'd share with you a couple spots in our house that have a touch of autumn. I guess my love of autumn shows up in the living room the most with lots of yellow and touches of cabin red! 

I've never regretted painting the living room yellow. It's like a warm hug!

I'm glad I took alot of pictures when we lived in Sicily. We love having reminders of our time there.



I love this shelf ....I won it when I was selling At Home America a couple of years ago and I almost got rid of it. I'm SO glad I didn't!



These chairs are often occupied with one of the kids reading

Thanksgiving is only a month away.......it's time to plan the menu and keep an ear out for people who might otherwise be alone on that special day.
