October Morn


The expression on Mr. Scarecrow's face cracks me up!



G'morning friends,

Is there such a thing as having 'Fall Fever'?   Oh man, these cool, crisp mornings feel soooo good!  They make me long for hot, carb-laden breakfasts. Porridge in dear little pots. And servers who call everyone 'sweetie' or 'hon.'  (*sigh*)

Ah well, I just put a roast in the slow cooker and need to start getting ready for church.  Before I do, here's some glimpses of my nod to Autumn.



Having no logical place in our new home for the computer desk, it became a faux sideboard.




LOVE the white pumpkins!


But mostly, I'm loving this bear.
So far I've resisted, but one never knows!



Okay, I really need to start getting ready.  But first!  Here's a nifty tip from one of the Seekers (Bible study gals). 


When shopping, Sue deliberately parks (or tries to) her car like so, up against the cart corral:

Granted, we like to think we live in a safe little community ... but is anyone, anywhere really?  Like my DIL's experience last year.  A moment's inattention resulted in the occupant of a panel van on her passenger side trying to get in.  And this, in broad daylight in a nice area of the city!  




Have a super Sunday.  Love y'all!

Myra

    1. Actually, I'm not so diligent either. So much competing for space in my head!

    1. Thanks! Not sure WHY I've done it, since we almost never eat in there or have folks over.

  4. It is so good to prepare for Autumn. Over here in the UK it has been very cold of late with a lot of rain 24/7. So much rain the new rain has no place to land. It saves me having to water the plants.

    Wishing you great happiness always, Mevely.

    God bless.

  6. Lovely table. the fall colors always make me happy.

    Oh, for autumn. How I would love to see those leaves. For us, here in Murrieta CA, it is 97 degrees and 0 humidity. I wish for rain.

    1. I think all our nation's praying for rain to help extinguish California's horrific wildfires.

  8. Have to admit that it took me a few minutes to find the bear, but cute :) Lovely fall decorations!! We have a touch of cooler weather in the morning which is a nice change :)

    Wow with your DIL's experience!! I like the idea of parking close to the cart corral. Its a good one!

    Yum on the roast!! That's the only way I make them is in the crockpot. They always come out great!

    Hope you had a great church service!!

    1. Yes, it was good! World Communion Day ... strange with all the social distancing and mask-wearing. For now, we do what we have to do.

  9. I am so grateful for cooler temperatures as fall encroaches, Myra! And your decorations are so lovely. Wish I could say I do the same, but we are in the declutter faze of our lives. The only ornaments that come out are the Christmas ones. Got to celebrate the most important birth of all time!
    Blessings!

    1. Absolutely! This is the first year I've done any (so-called) decorating. Still try to keep things minimal.

  10. I love your decorations. ❤️ We're lucky here, our town is unusually safe.

  11. The cool, crisp mornings are indeed WONDERFUL and so are those happy scarecrows. Your autumn decor is great - so homey and cozy.

    I'm thinking of getting a slow cooker - it would be perfect for making meals in the winter.

    1. I vote 'yes'! Aside from the coffee maker, our slow cooker's my favorite appliance.

  12. Love your "nod to fall"...very colorful and happy. And I do love that bear...is it still for sale? LOL. I think you should get it if it makes you smile. Good idea about parking next to the shopping carts if you are alone. I rarely go shopping alone these days. Hubby wants to go everywhere with me so that is a plus. But if I ever am alone I do pay better attention to those kinds of details and am more safety conscious. Even in our little town things happen. People get desperate when you least expect it so we need to be diligent...and keep "prayed up!" I hope your pot roast was good! I did one last week in the crock pot and it was so tender it melted in my mouth. I may have to do that again soon. Take care and enjoy fall while it lasts!

    1. Ha on the tag-along hubbies. (But I'm sure grateful for mine, as I'm sure you are, too.)
      My dad used to caution me every weekday morning, "Keep your wits about you."

  13. Loving the fall photos...and that black Navajo pottery! Sweet!

  14. Love all the fall touches! I try to park near the cart corral. I like to return my cart but today I went to Walmart Market for for grocery pick up. Ah.... that was sweet! Shout out to those workers who bring your groceries and those who pack them. I doubt they get much kindness. The one lady who was getting her groceries before me looked like she was having a bad Monday so I was extra sweet to the little gal who brought my purchases. She was extra kind too! I am always extra careful in parking lots. We never know the strange things lurking about. Not paranoid just smart. I am glad your DIL was ok. It is sure scary. HUGS and LOVE xo xo

    1. I've never used Wal-Mart's grocery pick-up ... yet. Who knows, if this stupid virus keeps up. Love your 'extra kindness' shown to that retail worker. It doesn't cost a thing to be kind.

  15. Love your fall stuff. For some reason I'm really into it this year too. I bought 2 pumpkins (small) and 6 gourds to add to my outdoor shelf that was already holding 2 mums! Have a great day.

  17. You lady are creative with those decorations. As you well know we have a little fall here in Florida but not enough to get fall fever. LOL
    It NEVER hurts to be safe in this world. Glad you are enjoying your ladies group. SWEET.
    Hug Brother Tom, we have been thinking of y'all, MOST of it good. LOL
