Earth laughs in flowers... Ralph Waldo Emerson


A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.

Doors of Welcome!!!

012013 014 016

I am joining in with Karen from Some days are Diamonds today for Doors of Welcome. We are

showing off our doors dressed up and ready for fall!!! This is the front entry to my home…as you

can see I like lots of plants and pumpkins!!! I have this little bench here year round and it’s decor

changes with the season. Just about the only thing that is a constant is the topiary. If you can

believe it…this crazy thing started out life as a reject from inside. He was looking a little tired so I

thought I would see if he liked it better outside…I guess he does…he is exploding everywhere!!!

My GORGEOUS wreath was made by Kristen of Kristen’s Creations!!! I ordered it early in the

season and have been dying to show it off!!! Today is the day!!! I LOVE IT!!! I LOVE IT!!!

I LOVE IT!!! I think she is a genius…I have been trying to talk her into moving in and becoming

my personal floral designer…I don’t think she is buying it…hehe!!! I think it is the crowning

glory to my entryway!!! THANK YOU KRISTEN!!!

Be sure to stop by Karen’s and check out all of the other “DOORS”!!!

Have a wonderful day!!!

Lots of Love!!!

XOXO

It’s Giveaway Day!!!

This is my first ever giveaway!!! I am so excited!!! I want to give something to everyone that

follows me and all of the sweet girls that I have become blogging buddies with…since that would

be almost impossible…this is the next best thing!!!

I was shopping at William Sonoma the other day and saw all of these goodies and decided to use

these for today. I love the little cake pan with it’s fall design and the rooster towels are

gorgeous!!! There are 2 of the towels included in the giveaway…even though I am only showing

one. The other two items are ingredients for the pumpkin bread. I have made it before and it is

YUMMY!!! The rules for the giveaway are at the bottom of the post. Good luck!!!

Sunday Blessings!!!

sunday1

Men spend their lives in anticipations,—in determining to be vastly happy at some period when

they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other—it is our own. Past

opportunities are gone, future have not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would

lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer the tasting of them too long, we shall find that both are

soured by age.

Charles Caleb Colton

Have a wonderful Sunday!!!

God bless you all!!!

Lots of Love!!!
