Autumn's Beauty Painted With Leaves.....

I want to share some pictures of the beauty of fall around my world. These pictures were taken right on the campus where I work on Friday.


Aren't the colours of fall beautiful?

We have a log cabin on campus which is used for some outdoor classes....


The cabin snuggled in the surrounding fall....
A colourful carpet....

Its a beautiful world we live in....
I hope you have a great day... 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
