Looking a Bit Like Christmas......

I originally had not planned a regular post this week with other things going on.  However........
Daughter got an early start decorating for Christmas, and sent pictures to share.  I think the pictures speak for themselves.

More Signs the Season is Changing.....


Early Thursday morning, an unexpected line of precip. rolled thru when the temps were below freezing - resulting in ice on the bridges and overpasses, and that equals a disaster.
It is times like this I am glad I am no longer fighting the perils of rush hour traffic trying to get to and from a job.  Winter weather has definitely arrived ahead of schedule this year, and it is not welcome.   
***** 
Since much colder temps these days, daughter has put her crochet hooks to work while sitting in school pickup lines, waiting for children to get out of scouts or band meetings, or the TVs are tied up with events she is not interested in, etc..
Footies/slippers for one of the kiddos....
and warm throws to curl up with when the temps drop...
Another in progress....

She has a vintage candy jar filled with pine cones, cinnamon sticks, faux mini pumpkins and gourds, setting in a vintage/antique (not sure which)  wooden bowl provides a Fall vignette for her kitchen  table.  
The table  where slices of pumpkin pie friendship bread will be on her menu.
Don't like pumpkin? How about apple pie bread ?
Bet a slice of that would be delish with warm caramel sauce drizzled over the top.

Signs the Season is Changing.....

A Fall, country sunset......
A Fall sunset - definitely looks different from other seasons.
The red headed cupid can dance barefoot in the leaves on a warm Fall day...
or dress warmer on a cool Fall day and still dance in the leaves.
The above 3 pics courtesy of daughter.

Someone shared a picture with me of what she woke up to one morning last weekend in East TN.
Picture removed.
Beautiful to see, however, don't want any of the white stuff here.

Where has this year gone ?!? Seems like just yesterday, I was planting  annuals, and hoping they would survive the squirrels and chipmunks digging them up, and me replanting them more than once.  I miss the temps in the 70's and 80's already, and judging from the extended weather forecast it will be some time before I will enjoy them again.
********
Am I ready for the holidays that are just around the corner ?!?
No I am not! Are you?
