Ten Things I Love About Fall {In the Cafe}
10. Hot apple cider 9. Autumn displays ~ Missouri and Pennsylvania have the most beautiful Fall weather, from the falling leaves to the deep blue skies, nothing is more indicative of the hand of God at work. 8. Heated seats ~ A warm bum. Need I say more? 7. Return to school ~ I enjoy the arrival of the students back on campus. After a quiet summer, the buzz of student activity is refreshing. 6. Boots and socks ~ Can you think of a better cool weather fashion statement for the feet? 5. My favorite TV shows ~ The Walking Dead has given my television viewing new, ahem, life. 4.…

Things I’m Looking Forward to This Fall {About Me}
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but it never hurts to say it again, “I love sweater weather!” Fall is by far my favorite season of the year. I love snuggling up with cozy sweaters, eating comfort foods and watching my favorite TV shows. “Hell on Wheels“, anyone? But there are a few other things I’m looking forward to this Fall, some are old and some are new, either way I’m looking forward to everything that Fall has to offer: 1. Seasonal Coffee Flavors Oh sweet coffee! Not just the regular flavors but the seasonal ones like Salted Caramel Mocha. I’m so not a Pumpkin Spice Latte fan. Going to…

Autumn Flowers {Photography}
For the past two days I’ve been working evenings, so I’ve been at a loss as to what to do with myself during the day. Sleep is so not an option. I’m used to being up and moving. So I grabbed my camera and started snapping pictures of things around the house, but nothing inspired me. Then I caught a glimpse of the flowers growing just outside my window… Aren’t they lovely? I’m not sure what they are but I do love having them outside my front door… Hope you’re enjoying your day…

Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge: Brown
Without this challenge, I never would have noticed how many beautiful shades of brown there are in nature. There are deep dark shades that border on black, rich sables, sensuous chocolates and mouth watering caramels. There are even shades that have just enough green that in the right light they look olive. Yes, this week I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty of brown… And, last but not least, this one of my pastor’s daughter with her grandfather… It wasn’t taken for this challenge but I absolutely love it. How did you do with this week’s challenge? ABOUT THE SHADES OF AUTUMN PHOTO CHALLENGE The Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge is…

Finally, we’re at my favorite color ~ PURPLE! I absolutely love purple from the deep vampy shades to the softest pastels. To me, it represents royalty, uniqueness, boldness and creativity.

Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge: Red
So are you all enjoying this challenge so far? I know I am. I’m learning so much from looking at the photographs that all of you have shared (and your tips and tricks have been invaluable). I think the main thing I’ve learned is always have my camera ready, because I never know when a picture~taking opportunity might occur… Last week, after picking up Miss 18 from school, we decided to visit the local conservation center just to see what they had… Oh my gosh, it was beautiful and crazy at the same time. There were all sorts of animals on display along with information about the indigenous peoples and…

Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge: Orange
If I thought last week’s challenge to find something yellow was next to impossible, I cannot begin to explain how hard finding something orange was… Seriously, where is all of the orange stuff? Kid you not, even the pumpkins were white. White pumpkins?! What is that? Then I remembered that I’d picked up some oranges on my last trip to the grocery store, so I took them out of the fridge and snapped away. Not the most inspired photographs but then, while driving to church on Sunday night, I saw this… And this… I was late for church but I think sometimes we need to just pull over and admire…
