What's Not to Love About Fall

Good evening, come on in and sit down and lets visit a while. It is a perfect evening. Did you get your coffee? I hope you like the Pumpkin Spice, it is Door County and I love it. The Speckled Hen is selling it and I am so happy!lol Today is the last day of September and I have been thinking about fall. I love fall. On FB all the prim people are saying fall is their favorite season and it is mine too. Think about it. What is there not to love about fall? Some of my favorite things to do is drink coffee, hot mulled cider, and hot Cinnamon Spice tea. I like reading a good book, snuggled up with a warm throw, the candles burning and the dog sleeping peacefully. What about you? What do you especially like? I love making homemade apple butter. It is my husbands great grandmothers recipe and it is the best! You know I had to be married to him for 30 years before my mother in law would give me the recipe!lol That is the truth. I guess she thought I was in the family to stay by then.
I love the colors of fall. I live between ridges and the colors get so brilliant. I love festivals,  hot soups, and visits from friends. I get my Gladys Taber books out in the fall and reread them through Christmas. What about you? Do you have books you reread each year? I love Gladys Taber and the StillMeadow books. They are the best. One of my prized possessions is a hand written note from her, back in 1972. Her books make you feel so secure for some reason. I love trips to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, I love sitting on my front porch and just being. Well I guess I have made my point. I love fall.
Another thing I love is Family Weavers throws, coverlets, runners,etc. Well  they have a new pattern and I got a table square today. It is called, Hamblen County Tennessee Trouble. Hamblen county is where Dasko goes to doggie camp when we go away.

It is a dark red. The Hen just got these in today. I really like it.
I also have a thing for carriers or boxes. This is really different but I just loved it when I saw it. It isn't old, but a master craftsman made it. It is cherry and I love cherry and walnut.

What do you think? I thought I might use it to hold paper clips, stapler, pens, etc, by the computer, but for now it is here.
Another thing I have done is, I am using blue in my guest room. I have the old blue quilt back on the bed for winter.

I also use this old coverlet piece on the meal chest in there.

Now I have added this.

I have some neat accessories I want to add when I get it done. I am just in the mood for a little change. I'll post a picture when it is finished.
Thanks so much for coming by to visit. I love it when you do come Through My Back Door, where life is good.
betty
ps: Domino update. I told you Domino went to a new home a couple of weeks ago and they absolutely love that cat. Well today Domino went to the vet to be spayed. Surprise, Domino is a male and had already been neutered! Life is not only good through my back door, it is full of surprises!
