Good Monday morning! I hope you had a lovely weekend, wherever you were and whatever you did. I am really fixated on all the fall things lately. I want to make sure I am taking it all in and appreciating it because these few days of vibrant, colorful leaves glistening in the sun, slowly drifting downward, their job almost done, are gone too soon. Each season has its crowning achievement for me, and these few days are just that for autumn. We have taken it all these past few days. Let me show you.
It was beautiful and cozy, and I felt like we were in Stars Hallow ~ for all the Gilmore Girls people out there! Afterward, I was happy in my cozy place.
Thanks to the magic of technology, we can stay in constant touch with Peyton and Chris. Here are the pumpkins she grew from last year's pumpkin seeds!
And, of course, my momma. My sister Margie makes sure I get to share in all their fun. Saturday was Trick-or-Treat night in my tiny hometown, and they passed out all their candy!
Well, it's time to get this last week of October underway! I plan to watch some of my favorite Halloween movies, enjoy festive food, turn off the lights, and watch a Halloween Ambiance YouTube video. This cozy, spooky, time won't return for another year!
Billie Jo
Your weekend looks like a lot of fun! There are things that we all associate with autumn...things that just wouldn't be the same if we had them any other time of year. Festivals and certain foods are certainly among them for me. And getting out in nature to enjoy the beauty of those gorgeous colors on the trees is another.xx
ReplyDeleteLove all of you pictures. This is such a wonderful month. The trees here are almost at their prime and it's just gorgeous. I hope you have a wonderful fall week!!
ReplyDeleteEvery single picture is gorgeous. Either the leaves, the food, or the people. Sometimes all three! Embrace this last week of your favorite month friend!!!
ReplyDeleteAll the pictures were delightful, Billie Jo. You are seeing lots of Fall color on those trees in town. I always thought it would be so neat to live in a town like Stars Hollow. That is wonderful that Peyton grew pumpkins from seeds, and now they are coming alive! And a cute picture of your mom and sister. Your mama is even wearing a Fall sweatshirt, that's sweet.
ReplyDeleteHave a splendid week, my friend.

You two are just the cutest couple!!! And you are really making the most of the season, what fun you've been having!!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking beautiful there! Glad you are having fun, and I love how your kids stay close, even those who aren't physically close.
ReplyDeleteI love this post with all of its lovely fall feels! I would love to know some of your favorite Halloween movies, maybe you'll consider sharing them here this week? I may do that type of a post on my own blog, come to think of it! Thanks for the inspiration today, my friend. Enjoy your cozy day!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!! I love your background!! Thanks for sharing your weekend with us!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty time of year. The trees here are pretty much bare now though there are some still hanging on to their leaves.
ReplyDeleteWow that is quite a pumpkin haul. Lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Friend! I missed you and this - the beautiful Autumn glory you always share here. I'm back from another epic journey and catching up. That is an amazing pumpkin haul - wowzers! And I love seeing the sweet town and the Fall trees and all the cozy goodness of the best season of all. It's going SO fast now! I need to soak up every second! 🍂🎃🧡
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous fall photos Billie Jo. I think my favorite is your Mom and sister though. They look so happy together. You are very blessed to be able to spend so much time with your sweet family. Tonight we went to our pastor and his wifes home with another couple and we ate chili and carved pumpkins. It was so much fun! We sure enjoyed ourselves. We've been doing quite a lot with these two couples. Camping, dinners and the next big plan will be making gingerbread houses for Christmas. Our turn to host will be Valentine's Day fun. Keeping busy makes it somewhat easier in not having two of our three kids nearby.

Such nice pictures of the scenery and the family. Looks like everyone is taking full advantage of this beautiful month. I think November is just as beautiful so we have that to look forward to as well. Wow those pumpkins that Peyton grew. You have a wonderful sister taking such good care of your mom, who looks so happy. Let's all enjoy the rest of this beautiful season.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful assortment of fall pictures, Billie Jo! Fall is looking fabulous in your neck of the woods. Peryton's pumpkins look awesome. Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteAww, I love seeing pictures of your mom smiling and enjoying herself! Looks like ya'll have really been enjoying this season, as you should! I'm very impressed with the home-grown pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteI like all the trees you showed with nice colors. We have it in our area as well. I saw some pumpkins when I went to sign in for my dr's appointment this afternoon. There were 12-14 ones made out of different things. We could vote for which one was my favorite pumpkin. It's the one that is a porcupine!! Apparently, the person who made it gets a prize. Take care and enjoy what you like to see online!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Billie Joe, I am also a lover of Fall. You have certainly shown how magical it can be. The photos of you with your dear hubby, and with your family are delightful. A beautiful photo of your momma and sister too. Impressed with the pumpkins from seeds! Have a wonderful end of October my friend!
ReplyDeleteThe autumn colour is gorgeous, and you've captured it perfectly, Billie Jo.
ReplyDeleteAs always, it's just lovely to see photographs of your beautiful family enjoying the season, and like Peyton, we will also be carving our pumpkins, grown from last year's seeds. We never got the chance to visit the pumpkin patch, this year. Xx
Good morning Billie Jo...Each of these photos brings many smiles to me this morning, and I can for sure see the Fall magic. This is a great picture of your mom and sister and the smiles are beautiful. There is just something special about Home grown pumpkins that makes them the best...I love how you have so much enthusiasm of Fall and how it is so contagious. Hope you have a fun day...
