Monday Morning Coffee Talk

 


Good morning, my friends! How was your weekend? I hope it was everything you planned and hoped it would be. It seems like this time of year passes in a blur, and before we know it, January is here. I keep reminding myself to be in the moment. And appreciate the beauty of every blessed day. It isn't hard to do when the days look like this...











Today I have school with Flynn, some mail to work through, mounds of laundry to sort, and a meatloaf dinner to make. For me, a perfect day. I hope you enjoy your October day, my friends. Thanks for visiting. Remember to take a few minutes to just be.

  2. Gorgeous pics. My thoughts are switching to Christmas a little more often the last few days. I have to remind myself that Halloween is still here to enjoy. I haven't bought mums or pumpkins, like I was so anxious to do, and I'm thinking I'm okay with that. Less pressure, less jumping ahead to the next thing, more in the moment simple enjoyment!

  3. Oh, I love the first photo with all the black and white decor. So pretty! It looks so gorgeous in your neck of the woods. Fall is my favorite time of year, too, and we are blessed with good weather this year, so the colors are beautiful. Have a good day -- meatloaf sounds yummy!

  4. The trees are turning here as well and it is just gorgeous. Love your pictures. I too try to enjoy every single moment because as you said time gets away from us. Have a lovely week and enjoy the meatloaf.

  5. Beautiful fall colors! Thank you for the reminder to slow down. I needed it this morning as it seems to be flying by at a record pace. Hope you have a wonderful week! (PS I love the spiderweb blog background, so fun!)

  7. Days are going by so fast.. sometimes they all melt into one. We put our Halloween decorations up over the weekend and watch Hocus Pocus 2.

  8. Lovely photos...what a blessing to enjoy such beauty.

    And yes, we're thinking alike, while I'm an endless list-maker, my goal is to be present in the NOW, not worrying about what's to come...that's how I miss the NOW. You reminded me of a song I heard...Don't Miss It by Francesca Battistelli - so worth a listen when you find time. Have a great week! Mary

  15. Oh, the gorgeousness of it all! You truly are blessed to live where you do. I love your idea of living in the moment. It is something I strive for and with Fall colors saturating our days it is easier to attain.💖

  17. Loved the peek into your fall world today! I don't know quite where you are, but I was in Cambridge Springs last weekend (NW corner of the state) and it was beautiful there. They were a week or two ahead of us with the color. It is beautiful here now, though. Enjoy the beautiful fall days!

  20. I am enjoying seeing Autumn on friend's blogs lately. How pretty it is there. You get all the colors, the oranges, golds, and reds. Looking out your window to the glorious Fall trees changing color and the water is a lovely view. And your little bird house gets me every time. ; ) Thanks for sharing a little bit of your neck of the woods, Billie Jo.
