Welcome Fall!!

Well, it's still very hot outside but Fall is in the air...I can feel it!! And, for me, Fall begins after Labor Day. So my hope is that cooler temps are just around the corner. Well, cooler as in low 90's instead of 100's!!

Once Labor Day passes, I begin wanting to put out Fall decorations. Do you? Here is some of the Fall that you would find in my home and even in my yard.
 Our family and our friends are what the Lord has blessed us with!
 This wooden scarecrow has been in my home for about 30 years!


 Meet some more of my Fall friends!
 A new color scheme for me. Trying it out!!

And this is gracing my patio garden. I hand-painted these about 4 years ago. They were such fun and easy to do!! You just put a dowel rod in the ground then slide the flower pots down the dowel rod, sitting them on top of one another! Fill with Fall goodies!

So you can see that I really love Fall.
But one more thing that I want to share with you. This is a recipe that I have made for my Bunco girls that will be gathering in my home tomorrow night. I decided to try a new dessert. This is called No Bake Classic Woolworth Cheesecake. It was easy to make and the filling was finger-lickin' good. I won't get to really taste it until tomorrow night but it can't be anything but good!!
