Dreaming of Fall

Teddy and I are going to be very busy this weekend. My daughter is throwing a birthday party for her boyfriend. She works two jobs and is very busy so I offered to do a lot of the cooking for her. The Blog Tech has a show tonight and a house guest so he requires major quantities of food for the whole weekend. So, today I am just posting pictures of what I am looking forward to. I noticed that my Sycamore trees leaves are changing. Fall is on it's way.


Last year I framed some cool prints and postcards in frames I bought from the thrift store.


I think I will make some more of these this year. Click to enlarge. This is a vintage Halloween postcard.


I can't wait to line up the pumpkins on my porch roof.


But first I have to go to the market to buy them. It is always a happy day around here when I buy the first pumpkin of the year.


I want to drive down this road again. I want to LIVE on this road!!!


And I want to drive down roads like these.


I want to have these all over my gardens.


And I want to fight the squirrels to keep them away from these.

I will post pics of everything I cook over the weekend.

***Remember to enter the giveaway. The winner will be announced tomorrow. I will post a new giveaway at that time!

Oh no! The last picture just reminded me that I bought some blue corn this year to plant for decoration - and I didn't plant it! Shoot! Now where the hell is that seed package...

Dreaming of Autumn with you!

Yesterday, as we were pulling up to our local year around market and in-season nursery, I was telling Hubs that one of these days, we'll pull in to see huge crates full of all sorts of pumpkins and gourds, and he laughed at me. .Well!!!

But, before we picked up our birdseed, we went through the garden section to go back and buy a couple of new shrubs (they were on sale. .can't pass that up!), and what did I see? Rows and rows of pots of mums! YES! The long tables are full of them!! I LOVE mums, and am SO happy to see them. .another sign of Fall!!

I love all of your photos, and your framed pieces look wonderful! I'm anxious to see what you culinary wonders you come up with for the weekend. I'm sure that they'll be spectacular!

normally I love to just be in whichever season it happens to be. I have favourite things about each one and look forward to each season as it comes but this year; carrying around the Bean and all the excess blood and weight that comes with baking up a little Frijole I am looking forward to fall with a longing that is a little bit amazing to me. Of course looking at the photos of what you're looking forward to is feeding the flames a little bit.

Yeah, I have the same feeling, and July is not even over yet! But it doesn't quite look like July. Some of the trees close to my working place even have some leaves turning yellow already... I wish I was young enough to play the haunted house and the haunted castle games of my youth again.

It seems as though we're all starting to dream of autumn lately... usually after my birthday (July 22nd), I'm in full Halloween-mode, which is what I am now! :) Cannot wait until the leaves begin to change, the air becomes a little grumpier, and all the little ghost and goblins come crawling out again ♥

I am well into my halloween mood and that was soooo fantastic. Just what I needed. Now, if someone could invent a real October in Arizona, complete with changing leaves and chilly noses!
