Happy Autumn 2022!

The sun takes a step back, the leaves put on their finest colors, and autumn is awakened! 

Fall is a beautiful time of year most everywhere I travel in the USA.

We even travelled to Alaska in the fall and it is gorgeous! On our way to a resort via a float plane, there were large patches of gold among the evergreens and glaciers. The weather was clear, crisp and perfect for hiking, fishing and kayaking. 

I can't wait to decorate for the fall. We grow most of the pumpkins and gourds that get placed on fence posts, porches, tables and mantles. Still, there's always a trip to my favorite farm for fresh pressed apple cider and donuts.

I love the warm colors of fall; gold, orange, red and purple.

And, what's not to like about pumpkin and apple pies fresh from the garden to table?

Enjoy the pumpkin spice!

Inspiration for September Calendar Page

 Can it really be the end of summer and start to fall already?

The giant sunflowers are a couple feet above my head. They are a gorgeous contrast against our bright blue skies.

We planted sunflowers around three sides of the vegetable garden this year. There's also sunflowers scattered here and there around our farmstead that were planted by the birds and squirrels last spring. They bring a smile when we walk around our property. Thus, a sunflower painting for the month of September!

Hope you had a nice summer and are looking forward to a beautiful autumn!
