Hello friends. I hope you are still enjoying a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Do you plan to rest today or is it work as usual? I will be doing my best to talk RM into a day of rest. I will let you know how that goes.

“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭25‬:‭11‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

“I urge the leaves to retain their composure; don’t give in to outside influences. I encourage the blossoms to continue their display; keep the vibrant colors regardless of shorter days. I challenge the fields to grow and stay green; resist the forces that imply it is time to quit. This is my calling and my message to these and others year after year. But they never listen. I don’t think they ever will. I am September!”

“By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

A September Morn with a little fog to start the day. Neil Diamond might declare in his song about a September Morning that they “danced until the night became a brand new day”, but I assure you we haven’t done that lately. Maybe now that September has arrived, we might plan to do that, but I’ve not mentioned it to Pam just yet! We had triple digit temps last week so nighttime is a little cooler!READ MORE

Welcoming Autumn, My Favorite Season!

Hello September and welcome friends! Today is the first day of meteorological autumn! I choose to start celebrating now rather than wait three weeks for the autumnal equinox!

“Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun. You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter.” Psalm‬ ‭74‬:‭16‬-‭17‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

September is the gateway to my “favorite” season! I know that all of my readers know that by now… but, I seem compelled to announce it quite often. Our summers can be extremely long in the South and this one has definitely been long and hot with this week bringing highs in the mid to upper 90’s.

I am excited to join thirteen table stylists for a Welcome Fall Tablescape Blog Hop, hosted by my lovely friend, Rita from Panoply. You will find all of the links for beautiful and creative fall tabletop inspiration at the bottom of this post.READ MORE
