Autumn fires
Autumn Fires
In the other gardens
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
The grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all!
Flowers in the summer,
Fires in the fall!

Warm and spicy
Autumn has come and will soon be gone. Thanksgiving and Christmas are
just around the corner. But before we leave the warm spicy colors of
Fall, here's a little table I set for a special lunch.

Paradise
As sure as autumn graces the US, Florida holds onto the warm days of paradise.
Welcome to my world!

Mid-Autumn
I love this time of year. It's the time of year when I sit out on my
porch, enjoying the breeze and savoring a cup of tea and a favorite book
or magazine.
Catching up on the latest quilting magazines.
An easy and delicious dessert that is a staple for our table is
Pineapple Cake. I think I've shared the recipe before, but I will add it
to the end of this post.
In a large mixing bowl beat 2 eggs until light and fluffy.
Mix well by hand. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts and spread in an ungreased 13 x 9 x 2" baking pan.

Season of change
I enjoy changing the china in my hutch. Every season speaks a different
theme. Fall is in the air, even if our temps are still in the 80's, the
mood still speaks Fall.
I only have one Pomona tea cup. The brilliance of colors radiates the change in the season.
I love to display my Friendly Village China from now until Thanksgiving.
I was so thrilled when I found this old tool box a few years ago. It has
graced my dining room table all summer and now is dressed for Fall.
Yes, the room is evolving. The warm glow of Autumn sets the stage for the season to come.

Awesome sunset
After dropping friends off at the airport, we were in awe at the beautiful sunset over the waters of Tampa Bay.
