Anticipating Autumn


Although it's officially fall, here in Texas it is still a bit on the warm side with today's high being 93 degrees. The weather channel promises cooler temperatures for this weekend and early into next week in which I am very thankful. 

There's just something about this time of year that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Although I'm extremely busy right now planning my daughter's wedding, I am anxious to pull out all my fall decorations and start getting the house and front porch ready for the season.  My husband has all the hay for the winter stacked neatly in the barn but I'll have to swipe a few bails to decorate the porch. 

I've been perusing pinterest for fresh ideas on fall decor and also some recipes I'd like to try. Here's what I found. 





I'm really loving the banner idea a lot!! 





I love certain elements of each of these and not real sure exactly how I want to decorate my mantle yet but I'll be working on it this week and hopefully have pictures up pretty soon. 


I also found a few recipes that I'd love to try



Brown Butter Pumpkin Cake with Honey-Cinnamon Frosting

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
