Thanksgiving is over… Black Friday is behind us! We started putting up our Thanksgiving decorations this morning and pulling old things out to get ready for Christmas. It really hit me like a ton of bricks š§± Christmas is less than 1 month away!
So it begins… Christmas is coming! š
Have a great Holiday weekend!

Itās Thanksgiving week! š¦ And Thanksgiving Dinner is at my house! Iāve been thinking about all the work I have to do this week to prepare… Making a list… But, at least the menu is set… I got ham again
I also got the sweet potatoes š But Iām putting a different spin on it this year ā¦ Instead of the regular āSweet Potato Casseroleā you may expect… Iām Doing a Sweet Potato Bar instead! You get a whole, baked Sweet Potato & you top it yourself! Brown sugar, butter, marsh-mellows, candied pecans, fresh cinnamon, whipped cream, etc!
And I always fix several pecan pies from my MiMiās recipeā¦
Everyone else is bringing something as well, can you say Feast! There will be Family and friends and LOTS of good food! I have a LOT to be Thankful for! šš»šš»šš»
I am also very aware of the men and women who serve our country šŗšø and will be unable to return home for the holidays. We owe them a very special Thank you and prayer ā¤ļøšš»
And there are so many around that donāt have as much to be thankful for… Many that even dread the holidays. I know I need to do my part to help others as well…
Well, with all that being said, I better get started…
Have a Thankful week šš»
“Give me the end of the year an’ its funĀ
When most of the plannin’ an’ toilin’ is done;Ā
Bring all the wanderers home to the nest,Ā
Let me sit down with the ones I love best,Ā
Hear the old voices still ringin’ with song,Ā
See the old faces unblemished by wrong,Ā
See the old table with all of its chairsĀ
An’ I’ll put soul in my Thanksgivin’ prayers.”Ā

I wanted to share a couple of pictures we took last night while we were messing around in the garden.
Thats what its all about! Getting outside and having an enjoyable evening most any season of the year! That is one of the things I always try to achive with my designs, I try to design Gardens that have year round interest!
So, I hope you have been enjoying this beautiful Fall weather we have had… And I hope you enjoy this little glimpse of my Water Garden on a Moonlit š Indian Summer night in Autumn š

This has been a beautiful Fall day… It started with a cold heavy fog š« needing a long sleeved shirt and coat & ended with a light sunburn in short sleeves š A wonderful Autumn Day š
So Beautiful ā¤ļø
It looks like a beautiful week ahead. I hope you can get out and enjoy this little āIndian Summerā we are about to experience this week. Sunny š with highs in the mid and upper 70ās.
āThere’s a crispness in the air that greets the morning sun, a feeling of anticipation, a new day has begun.
Harvest days are ending, winter is drawing near, yet in between is surely the most special time of year.
They call it Indian Summer, and it seems to fit the bill, for it’s as if the Lord took a feathered brush and painted all the hills.
Now as I sit contented, atop of one of these, a book in hand to pass the time, the sound of a gentle breeze,
I can almost imagine an Indian child upon this mountaintop, looking down at the land of her forefathers, lost within her thoughts
For in every persons lifetime some heartache may occur, but on these hills in quiet solitude, God helps us to endure.
So I say that the eyes are a window, beauty is found within the soul, and upon the hills of Autumn, that are strewn with red and gold.ā
~ Julie L. OāConnor
Have a good night š

Here we are, Fall is in Peak Color in TN! Frost has become the norm over the last few days and Tonight, we set our clocks back! š³
Heres a little copy/paste from the interweb…
āWhen did Daylight Saving Time begin? Daylight Saving Time started onĀ Sunday, March 14, 2021 and will end on Sunday, Nov. 7, 2021Ā ā a run of 238 days. It has begin the second Sunday in March and lasts until the first Sunday in November since 2007.ā
A few other interesting facts…
- Many still love the practice because of longer Spring and Summer evenings!
- They say it does make driving safer
- And some say it saves a small amount of energy? Thats debatable…
- But, it also causes some people problems…
- Many loose sleep and find the change unhealthy. Physically and Mentally (depression from shorter evening hours)…
But, no matter how we feel about it, DST ends tomorrow! Be ready or, be the only one at church āŖļø ššš»
Enjoy this last evening of 6pm sunsets š ! Tomorrow it will be Dark by 5pm…. š¬
Enjoy the weekend!

What a beautiful morning! A quick, early walk this morning was perfect! Leaves are really showing color now š and many are falling in good number… Its about time for a good early Fall clean-up and burn š„ It really helps clear the way for later in the season.
Then its back in the house for breakfast š„ š³ No brunch today! Too much to do and see outside on this gorgeous Fall Day! ššš
Only 1 week from today is Halloween š… Get out and look around before the show is over!
āOctober is the month for painted leaves. Their rich glow now flashes round the world. As fruits and leaves and the day itself acquire a bright tint just before they fall so the year near its setting. October is its sunset sky; November the later twilight.ā
