Autumn Reflections

Cranberry Cat

Almost nothing can inspire me more than the ecstasy of Autumn's colorful changes. In the face of falls true nature of endings, I somehow feel renewed and energized. Feeling rejuvenated allows me to be my best possible self, my energy stores are up and my creativity is at an all time high. And more creativity means, more laughter, more happiness and more fun in life!

Cozy Fall Sweaters

Warm and cozy fall sweaters, socks, jeans and boots get placed to the front of my closet as those wonderful chilly nights and crisp mornings replace the baked heat of Summer just passing. Comfy, soft throws and blankets garnish the ends of our beds to be pulled up and snuggled up with in the middle of the night in answer to cooler night temperatures.

Inspiration Lane

Totes of fall home decor are carried up from the garage and my home begins to reflect the autumnal changes. Long collected troves of treasures from many seasons past bought at quaint vintage antique stores or countryside yard sales are filled with Mother Nature's drying bounty of dried flowers, twigs, leaves, pine cones and more. Wooden walking sticks, that the kids have collected on various hikes and hand carved are decorated with raffia and dried berries. My favorite candle lady is called and an order for vanilla, caramel and apple scented candles are on their way and will grace my home with their sweet aroma.

Back Porch Musings Blog

I am so motivated by all the changes going on around me that I pull out all my crafting supplies and begin working on projects that I have been thinking of doing all summer; like the dinner plates (shown here) that I found on Pinterest and I just have to paint. I know they will look terrific when I have guests over for my next small dinner party. Painting, baking, crafting, decorating; it's my busiest, happiest time of the year.

Sweet Seduction

The seasonal badge of brilliant reds, oranges and yellows seduces the mountain girl in me and beckons me to come out and play. A cool, early morning hike along a favorite foothill trail or hours spent slowly kayaking along a scenic river by-way has me giddy with anticipation. 

Mini Pumpkin Bread

A new yummy recipe, one among many, will  fill up our home with the aromatic baked goodness that my family has come to expect and look forward to at this time of year. The sweet smell of freshly baked pumpkin and the smell of cinnamon spices of this decadent recipe will lend it's ambiance in making the season complete. This simple to bake recipe can be found on Bakingdom.com.  

I hope you have enjoyed this short blog about my passion for this time of year. I would welcome your posted comments and thoughts on how you feel about the season and what kinds of traditions your family celebrates. 

Hike on!
