Friday!

Welcome to the weekend, friends. While here we are enjoying the beautiful autumn days, our thoughts and prayers are with those devastated by the hurricane earlier in the week. I hope you are safe and sound and looking forward to a cozy autumn weekend. 



Last weekend, my beautiful mother visited with us...

And I took her for a Jeep ride to look at the newly changing leaves.


Before we took her home, we enjoyed a festive fall brunch complete with scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, fresh fruit, and pumpkin cinnamon rolls, compliments of that cute little doughboy.

Peyton made a cute and delicious Halloween treat for us this week.
Instant pudding in tiny graham cracker pie shells topped with whipped cream.
And Halloween sprinkles, of course.

In preparation for the new Halloween movie coming out NEXT WEEK!!!!!,
Michael and I took a ride around the lake.





And they did not disappoint.

 Air becoming crisper~

Leaves fluttering to the ground~

Nature painting the skies~

Pumpkins and cornstalks adorning front porches~

Smoke rising from chimneys~

Cozy.

Autumn.

Enjoy, my friends!

  12. I'm going to be so embarrassed if I posted 100 comments to this post. That's how much I love your blog. Haha.
    Yeah its finally feeling like fall! I love seeing you and your mom - looks like you had a great day! (Btw. Jeep girls rule!)

    About those pumpkin shells on the other post that my comment didn't show up, they scare me - but I really want to try them! I think I can switch up the recipe to make it vegan for my daughter - she would love it!!!
    Have a great weekend!!!!
