Touches of Fall in the Dining Room
Although I am in no way delighted, I've had to come to the realization that decorating for fall and the holiday's- is going to be a bit different in our home this year.
The reason for that is-the main floor of our home is in complete disarray chaos right now. We still have several projects to finish in the kitchen-(the list is too long to even mention!). We haven't even started in the powder

Pumpkin-Apple Streusel Muffins
With temperatures hitting a high of 48 today-it appears mother nature has finally decided it's time for fall in our neck of the woods! I'm not looking forward to the cold weather-that's for sure, but I am grateful it's held off for this long. Having those 70 degree temps these last couple of weeks enabled me to get a lot of outside work done, and I'm happy to say, that for the first time in

September Spotlight- All about Apples!
There are many reasons why I love Fall. Cozy sweaters-sitting next to a warm fire-hayrides-pumpkins-fall foliage-and yes, APPLES!!!
Thankfully, hubby and I live only twenty minutes away from Minnesota's APPLE capital!!!

Sensational Sunday Love Links!
Hello sweet friends!
Have I told you that I have a major obsession with dishes? Well, I do. It's big. Really, really, big!
All summer long I've been scouring rummage sales, flea markets, and Goodwill, gathering up as many as I can for my ever growing collection.
I think this new obsession all started after we made over our dining room!
Now I actually enjoy entertaining-and there is

My Fall Front Porch
I titled this post 'My Fall Front Porch', but in truth-I really should have titled it-"My Fall Front Porch-the DISASTER!
You see-as usual, things didn't go as I had planned when it came to decorating my porch.
It all started last week.
I'd been waiting to put the finishing touches on our fall porch, but couldn't do so, until I found some gourds and Indian corn. After looking through every

Fabulous Fall Foliage!
Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Hubby and I enjoyed a wonderfully-relaxing day, yesterday! We started out with a delicious, hearty breakfast at one of our favorite places in the city, and then we ran a few errands and did some shopping. Later, we headed out to the farm to help mom with a few chores.
We had a nice surprise when we arrived-my niece, Vanessa, and nephew, Nick

The weather has been just gorgeous, here in Minnesota this week, so I've been spending as much time outside in the gardens as I can. As you all know- fall is the perfect time for thinning out and transplanting, as well as, planting new beauties for next year, so I took advantage of these warm 70 degree days, to get it all done.

Are you a No Reply Blogger?
Have you ever had one of those 'duh' moments? You know, that moment when you smack your head, roll your eyes, curse under your breath, and silently tell yourself that you are so STUPID!!!
I've had more 'duh' moments than I care to admit, since I started this new venture of blogging. But, the one I'm about to tell you, is, hands down, one of the BIGGEST of all.
Why so big? Well, because this
