Some More Fallness...Not Ready Yet...







Fall has come with its mix of warmth and coolness its beauty, its colour, its harvest......and now the beautiful coloured leaves have mostly dropped. This is at the lake.



ci

crispy, juicy apples...






SO









because I missed posting the past few weeks I thought it was only fair that I post some fall pictures I had taken for you.
Gourds 5 for $1.00













These pictures were taken when we were in Vegas in September. They are at the Bellagio hotel.








Fun aren't they?

Know why despite all this beauty I resist fall? Well...tonight we had hail...and snow showers...which I'm so grateful melted shortly after but *sigh*. I'm not ready for winter....

Have a wonderful day... Love Judi xoxo

Autumn Dishes and Accessories

Marc and I love cooking together and trying new foods we've been served or seen someplace. This time of year we look forward to cooking with squash and zucchini and other fall type veggies. Heartier meals come to mind.


Before I go on this is a sunflower I snapped a picture of while we were out galavanting. Next year I hope I remember to plant some at the cottage. Maybe you will remind me?


















On Saturday we reinvented a breakfast we'd had at Bob Evans Restaurant some time ago. We made it with Bob Evan's sausage, peppers, tomatoes, home fries, eggs, shredded cheese. Let me say it turned out soooo delish. I know we'll make it again next weekend because we'll HAVE to try the new dishes. I'll share those pics with you then.
Which brings me to this post. WHILE we were at Wegmans looking for the au gratin dishes I found this lovely display of autumn dishes and accessories.



Don't you love them? They would make a beautiful tablescape with some Indian corn and I'd like some fabric napkins to match....a pumpkin...mustard coloured candles or this complementary green colour....or a chocolate brown...or pumpkin?

















I like this placement setting with the mosaic design...













You could serve up some nice sharp cheese and crusty bread, or cheese and crackers on this oval plate.













We used to pick wild grapes that grew in vines along the side of the road. They were really small but oh my we made some lovely juice with them. It was very concentrated so we used to mix it with water or with gingerale. It would be so delicious served out of this pitcher.

















I really would have liked to have bought myself one of these lovely dishes but I refrained myself this time. At least I could take them home this way and share with you.

Hope you are having a great day today.... Judi xoxo
