Hello, beautiful friends! I am back!!! Back from a VERY HOT vacation. I'm eager to share our trip experience. I also cannot wait to share all things FALL. This time of year, many of us are bombarded with Autumn posts, ideas, videos, and so much more. Guess what...Well, I will be bombarding here and there as well. :) Today, I want to share a few favorite fall quotes, sayings, and ideas as I sit here dreaming of the days that feel cool. Because right now I am crisping in the heat 😅. The South is not for the faint of heart. Our fall really doesn't feel like autumn until October. So, to me, fall is October. I consider September late summer and preparation time for fall....
Do you have a favorite from list above that you like to bake this time of year? I want to try the Apple Cinnamon Donuts this year. I also plan to do Apple Butter this month and Pumpkin Butter next month. It is a tradition for me.
I want to interject here.... Thank you for the kind encouragement and prayers for our son, who had a wreck a few weeks back. I appreciate those who understand having a prodigal and the worry and scare it can cause. TO THE RUDE COMMENTOR....
Your comment was not published (well, it was removed). Apparently, you are perfect and truly never made a mistake in your life (tell us your secret), or you have forgotten grace and life lessons. Why make a comment if you are going to punch a little harder in the gut of a mama that has just already been gut punched, that we could have lost our child? Also, if you have to make yourself anonymous, then you hide who you really are and aren't brave enough to show your true rude colors. Mama bear will come out.... Just saying.

BACK TO POSITIVITY.....
I found this super neat printable on Pinterest. They actually have them for each month. I will be putting this into action this month.
~What is your favorite and least favorite fall chore?~
My favorite chore to do when fall arrives (this means when cool fall weather arrives for me) is to clean and freshen our front porch. I love going to a local produce stand and getting a few plants, changing out our front door wreath & rug, washing the porch, cleaning the windows & door, and making it welcoming.
My least favorite chore is getting into the attic to get my decorations down for the fall. It is just tedious but well worth it.
I love having Bucket List! I have a yearly one and I made a graphic for my wallpaper on my computer for the year. I have done all but two things for 2025! I can't wait to share.
A photo challenge sounds fun!!!!! I may do a little of this!!! Do you like doing photo challenges?!
As I wrap up this post, I want to share, I have so many fun posts planned for the next few weeks and a GIVEAWAY!!!
I love the old format of traditional blogging. For those who have that nostalgic heart and miss that, you have come to the right spot!
Until next time....
With Love,
Chrissy T 🍂🌻🍎
Welcome back! I agree that Sept is late Summer and Fall starts in October. I hang on to Fall as long as I can.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to decorating my porch too.
I'm glad you son is doing ok and I'm sorry about the rude comment. People can be pretty mean online when they are anonymous.
Thank you for stopping by Mari! Yes, they can. I am okay when it's about me but my kiddo....lol!
DeleteI am looking forward to the cool days!!!!!!!!
Welcome back!!
ReplyDeleteI do love this time of year and I am embracing everything Autumn at the moment.
I made apple pie's today from the apples I picked from my dad's trees. That is the only thing I have ever baked from the Fall Baking list! I really want to try making cinnamon buns and pumpkin pie!
I am so sorry you had a rude comment, I hope your son is doing OK now. There is an anonymous commenter who has been a bit of a pest over the last 6 months or so. She has left awful comments on my blog and other blogs but I moderate so they never get published.
I love fall too!! An apple pie sounds so delicious! He is struggling to be honest but I am trusting he will get help. I am sorry also that you have been experiencing that!!!!
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteSeptember is officially late summer. I do not bake often, but I love anything with apples and cinnamon. I hope your son is doing good after his accident, sorry about the rude comment. People do make mistakes and no one is perfect. I delete comments that are just mean too. Take care, have a wonderful weekend.
You can never go wrong with baking with apples and cinnamon!!!
DeleteGlad your son is alright. Cars can be replaced, but lives cannot. Sad that you have a rude commentor that hides behind being an anonymous person. They are a coward. I love anything apple and pumpkin this time of year and look forward to eating anything related. Bringing out the totes for any season is a chore for me, but all worth it once the decorating is completed. Janice
ReplyDeleteJanice,
DeleteYes, they are cowards. I also love apple and pumpkin.
I love doing photo challenges! I just finished up my summer photo challenge and it will be up on the blog next Thursday the 25th (a little late for the end of summer but I have far too many trip recaps left to go plus other link up and things I've committed to). I have been looking for some fall photo challenge ideas so thanks for the graphic. I often report snarky anonymous commenters as spam; I firmly adhere to the "if you have nothing nice to say say nothing at all" adage. It's quite easy to just leave a post without commenting! I'm glad to hear your son is Okay; that must be so scary! Our middle son lives in the city at college and we just dropped him a car off yesterday-- I am a wreck thinking of him navigating all that traffic. We are country folk and that is going to be such a huge change for him. He's a good driver and a smart kid but you just never know...
ReplyDeleteYes, you truly never know!!! I will make sure to check out your photos!
DeleteHi Chrissy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your recent visit and kind comment. I love all of your lists for September and I wholeheartedly agree about good old fashioned blogging. Personally, I think it is needed now more than ever :)
I am so sorry to read about your son's accident and do hope that he is doing well.
Hi! Thank you so much for visiting. :) Thank you and he is mending!!!
DeleteWelcome back! So gald you could get away. So sorry you had to face a nasty commenter. Why?? But you were encouraged knowing others were thinking of you and praying for your son. I love all your links and ideas. I think those bucket lists for fall always sound fun! And I might just try the photos challenge. Yes, I'm rather behind but I can do the rest, right? We head for vacation this weekend...so I will have my phone out more! Take care - have a good week ahead!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer! Yes, I am behind too! I plan to just jump in and do it. Thanks so much for visiting!!!
