Serenity Sundays: Delicious Autumn

 

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. 

~ George Eliot

Serenity Sundays: Autumn Rest

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

Rednesday: Fall Colors

Last fall I was able to take my vacation in beautiful and historic Virginia. I went in October when the fall colors were in 'full bloom'. Being a California girl I was so happy to experience the beauty of the changing season. This first photo was taken on my tour of "The Wilderness" battleground.

The next two photographs I took on the grounds of James Monroe's Oak Hill mansion and plantation in Leesburg, VA.

I'm sharing this post for Rednesday which is hosted by Sue Loves Cherries. Drop over to see the other wonderful posts.

I can't wait to go back to Virginia again!  Do you live in an area where you get to experience a fall full of wonderful colors?

Can You Believe?

Can you believe that in a little over 2 months it will be Christmas? Here in southern California we are still experiencing warm weather. We don't really get to see the seasons change like the rest of the country does. Here we are still wearing shorts and flip flops while the rest of the country is bundling up in coats and scarfs. I would love to see the colorful autumn trees that others get this time of year.

Have you begun to think about what you will be getting your friends and family for Christmas? If you know someone that loves vintage items I invite you to take a look at my shop reprise at etsy. If you love antiques and vintage items it is okay to treat yourself to something too. You deserve it! Keep warm and enjoy your autumn.
