Here in south east Virginia and we are still in the 80’s and everything is still rather lush and green. The height of our color season isn’t until early to mid-November. A lengthy season means decorating for autumn can be fun because you can change it up as the season progresses, from September’s greens and yellows, to October’s orange and black, then November’s red, orange, and browns. I thought I’d start the season off with cooler tones before I jumped into the traditional color scheme. I ... Read More about Autumn Display
Rain, Roads, and a Roast
It’s raining again today. Give me thunderstorms any day of the week. Thunderstorms equal excitement and action, which I love, but not this dreary drizzle, clouds hanging low in the sky. It’s just plain depressing if you ask me. Then to top it off, my daughter received her driver’s permit! CLEAR THE ROADS! Yes I’m excited for her but wow, I now feel OLD!

Now, understand, this is the only bathroom on the main level so it gets used a lot. How do I delicately communicate this? When someone spends a lot of time in one exact location, one will visually scrutinize the immediate surroundings, nit-picking every negative detail. Are you still with me?

Pumpkin Lattes {with Spiced Pumpkin Whipped Cream}
I’ll need an entire pot of this. You won’t believe how wonderful this smells, like pumpkin pie in a cup. The delicious aroma is only thing keeping me awake after another night of insomnia. Someone explain this to me please… As women, we devote our 20’s-30’s tending to children at all hours of the moonlight, only to discover that as we near our 40’s, and the children actually sleep through the night, WE no longer can! No wonder we are so productive. We’re awake for so many hours! In my ... Read More about Pumpkin Lattes {with Spiced Pumpkin Whipped Cream}
