Fall Blessings

So now that we have all of our Fall vegetables planted, I'd like to take a second and share how much I like Fall. Cause I like it a lot. Seriously, how can you not like the cooler weather? And the turning leaves? (Well except for that whole raking thing.) And all things pumpkin... jack-o-lanterns, pumpkin scents, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin beer (try Dogfish Head Punkin Ale... yum). And the hearty cold weather meals... soups, chilis, stews... comfort food at it's best.

And then there's Halloween. Although I must say I prefer the cute kidlike Halloween over the scandalous adult Halloween festivities. I hear Halloween night is always fun in our neighborhood. Lot's of kids and candy. Ooo... and there's Hocus Pocus. I love when they start showing that on ABC Family every year.

Halloween is basically the start of the Holiday Season. Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then New Years. Fabulous. Thanksgiving is wonderful. Great food and fun times with family. Jason and I always do two Thanksgivings on the same day. It's pretty impressive.

I especially like all of the Fall decorations. Our house already has a lot of browns, greens, oranges, and golds in it, so it's pretty easy to work fall decorations into the scheme. It's kind of hard not to get carried away with all of the cute decorations.

Scarecrow wreath to welcome you in. Who can see Radar?

Dining room decorations.

Place mats, napkins, and centerpiece.

Buffet table decorations. I love my Write Plate.

I had been thinking about adding a tale vase to the corner of the room for awhile now. After seeing all of the pretty foliage at Hobby Lobby, I decided to try my luck at it. Jason will probably hate it because he's not a fan of fake flowers, but I like it. I think it will be kinda fun to change out the flowers in each season.

And lastly, there is this cute little guy.

I hope you all have wonderful Fall seasons.
