Ramblings and Decorating

Good Friday morning and I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to see you. I made a whole pot of Pumpkin Spice coffee and need help drinking it. Don't you just love the coffee of the seasons? I have discovered one thing about blogland. For the most part we are coffee drinkers. So many lives have been changed, so many hearts broken, and put back together,  so many blessings shared, and so many problems solved over a simple cup of coffee.  Anyway here through my back door, coffee is a necessity. lol
I am glad you are here this morning and as the title implies I am rambling. Jumping from here to there. The leaves have turned so much since the rain. It is gorgeous outside my window. I took this picture earlier.

Now there are leaves everywhere and the tree outside is almost all yellow. I love the cozy feeling of fall weather, Cool mornings and evenings and warm days.The other evening I turned this on.

I just needed some ambiance and a little heat.

This was a gift from Deb and Michael and it does keep on giving. I can't wait to decorate it for Christmas. Speaking of! I love fall, but I can't wait to get out the Christmas decorations and put up these.

People think I am crazy for even thinking Christmas, but I can't help it. I have been helping my friend Sharon, at the Speckled Hen, get ready for her Christmas open house. Now do you get it?lol
Anyway it will be here soon enough so I best enjoy the now. Do you feel this way? Happy with fall but looking toward Christmas?
One of my favorite things to do is be with my family. I am blessed to have a wonderful,loving family, although we are small. I enjoy laughing together. Yes we cry together too. You know Debs house was in Country Samplers last issue. We were overjoyed with Nancy's article, but there were some tears shed when reading it. She told about how Michael's Dad helped to build it, etc. What the reader didn't know, was that he passed away on Saturday before the shoot on Monday. He was so excited about the shoot, that Michael's siblings along with the rest of the family, decided to go along with it. It was so brave of them to do it with broken hearts. Now, as Paul Harvey would say, you know the rest of the story. I appreciate so much all the wonderful comments you have made on FB, forums etc, about their home. They are very hospitable and you are always welcome there.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and share it with someone you love. I think because life is short, you should enjoy it and only surround your self with people and things you love. I am so happy you came Through My Back Door where life is good.
betty
PS: You know I told you no one uses my front door. Well I forgot to say this guy does.
