Seven day catch up....

I haven't posted anything in September because I've been so busy already this month. Thought I would take today to catch you up on the first week of September and what I have been doing. The main thing is I have been getting up earlier in hopes of seeing the sunrise. One day last week I was rewarded by timing it right. I woke up as this slight light was shining through the tree tops.

I patiently waiting about 5 or 6 minutes and sun was behind the trees creating the image of a fire while the had a golden glow with rays of yellow streaking through. It was well worth getting up for.

It was our first chilly fall-like morning. I fixed my first cup of hot chocolate and marshmallow of the season, grabbing my book and headed to the porch to enjoy my morning.

Over the next few days, I started getting my fall stuff out and decorated as I could between all the other things I had going on. I love my fireplace because it has several settings and one is where the fire is going but the heat is actually off. It was pretty to have on while I did some decorating.

Just one of my little shelves.

I love how my favorite Pyrex just happens to go good with my fall colors.

The kids were so silly in this picture, but it is one of my favorites of them. This would have been about 8 years ago.

Just love decorating the tops of my shelves and tables. 

I love my little scarecrow. The fact he has on blue denim on made me get these blue placemats. They go with my blue dining room, but still allow me to put fall colors in there. It all compliments each other I think.

Isn't he just adorable.  

I am still looking for a fall centerpiece for the kitchen table. I want a big pumpkin or something. I love my little owls, but still need some work on the centerpiece.

I love my McCoy pitcher that belonged to my grandmother. I put flowers in it for every season. 

Not much to decorate the wine rack with yet except the new gray pumpkin. Looking at Hobby Lobby this weekend to see what else they might have.

I actually got me a new coffee table. Even assembled it by myself. But I love the way it looks with my pumpkin and candy dishes.

Well, cleaning and decorating took up most of the past seven days. The rest was filled with rest, cooking, baking and just hanging out at the house. Even managed a 3 hour nap yesterday. I am regenerated today. Now to see what this week brings.
