Fall is Finally Here

It has been ages since I have posted anything...just a lot going on and so little time.  It is finally cooling down a bit here, at least at night!  We brought our fall box in from the garage and the kids picked most of our pumpkins from the garden.  Katherine made gingerbread tonight and we ate by candlelight.   It's time to embrace the season!

" Delicious Autumn! My very soul is

 wedded to it, and if I were a

bird I would fly about the earth

seeking the successive autumns." 

George Eliot

Some pictures of "FALL" taken today!


It was the girls idea to change up the breakfast table! So fun to have the table a different direction!  It's always inspiring to see them get excited for a new season.....

a bowl of old spools sitting by the sink in the kitchen...meant to inspire!



Lizzy memorized Psalms 100 a while back and I found she had written part of it out on this little slate in the school room. Love how she takes the time to do things like this.....

Katherine welcomed in fall by making Gingerbread tonight....
the smell of it baking quickly puts you in the fall spirit!

Tasha Tudor books, her beautiful illustrations set the mood

bringing out our little famiy of pilgrims reminds us why we celebrate God's goodness in the fall
