Dipping My Toes Into Fall

Image
Hello friends! Just a shorty of a post today.  I am starting to dip my toes into some fall home decor. I am trying to use some restraint (not easy for me) and plan to keep it simple.  I do like to start my seasonal decorating early.  After putting a lot of time and effort into it, I enjoy having it around for awhile.  Plus, I love the cozy, family feel of fall.  And pumpkin spice latte.  I love pumpkin spice latte. 😁 Have you been thinking about cooler temps and fall decor lately? Enjoy your Monday! Thanks for stopping by, Join me here: Follow the Yellow Brick Home Grace at Home Tuesday Turn About

Simple Country Pleasures

Image
Hi friends! Just a short and sweet post of a few simple country pleasures in my life today.  Remember the column "Simple Country Pleasures" that used to be in Country Living magazine? Written by Jo Northrup, it was a wonderful monthly read about the joy and beauty in the simplest of things.  Here a few things bringing me not and peace today: Puppy dog kisses. Need I say more? A Starbucks stop on a hot summer's day.  Here, Palmer is enjoying his first ever Pupacino.  He is a new fan! He is so cute with his whipped cream moustache. This is the country road that leads to my local Hobby Lobby...So relaxing. These cute lil'  fellas also live on a farm that is on my route to the city.  They are so cute, but are growing fast.  I hope you enjoyed some of simple country pleasures today.  I'd love to know some of yours.  Please share in the comments. Coming up this week, I will be sharing our home office reveal. Thanks for stopping

Our Daughter's New Home

Image
Hello friends! I am sorry I went missing last week, but I was still dealing with camera issues and it also was our vacation week.  We had been scheduled for a trip to Canada, but with the borders closed that was not meant to be this year.  Instead, we went to our daughter and son in law's new home in Kentucky to help them with some home projects.  They both are working from home these days so we feel it is safe to visit. They purchased this lovely house in  April and it has been so wonderful to watch them make it their home. Last week, replacing some trim on the second story was on the list. There's my daughter, cheering her dad on!   We also helped install a storm door...So nice to let more sun in as well as some fresh air! When they bought the house, they knew right away their breakfast nook was crying out for a window seat. We all pitched in and the four of us created the cutest window seat (with storage).  It really makes the space!  Their cat loves it as well!   My husband
