Falling In Love.....With Autumn

After another very busy summer I just realized that the holidays are right around the corner.  It's time to order my turkey for Thanksgiving~ I thank Joe's Meat Market in Scotch Plains for providing me  a greatly anticipated tradition that kicks off Autumn and the holiday preparations.  They absolutely get the best fresh turkeys and, I believe, there is nothing better than the aroma of a roasting Tom Turkey wafting through the house.  I just may have to do one for Sunday dinner soon!

With most of the maintenance work around Magnolia Cottage under control,  I can concentrate on decorating for Autumn.  The wood has been delivered, once again, by the boys up at Andersen Farm and now the fireplace awaits the first fire of the season. Tomorrow Mr. P and I will go to Springdale Farm for pumpkins, corn stalks and a riot of color in the form of brilliant mums! 

My favorite time of year ~ the abundance of color, the crispness to the air, the crunch of leaves underfoot and the scent of chimney smoke as it curls through the air are some of my favorite things I enjoy when I walk Spencer and Henry.......
