...September days are here,
With summer's best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
~Helen Hunt Jackson
Last weekend I put the Autumn wreath on the front door.
It was an effort to get Autumn to make an appearance.
And guess what?!
It worked!
At least for one day.
Lows in the high 60s and a high today in the low 80s.
It may not sound like much to most of you, but to me, it was bliss!
I made a trip to Trader Joe's and came home with some goodies including these:
I made a trip to Trader Joe's and came home with some goodies including these:
Such pretty fall colors!
Mums, Protea and Eucalyptus.
They should last awhile (I hope).
I love Protea and I don't splurge on them too often.
They provided some playtime, too.
The produce bins were full of squash and cooking pumpkins.
I came home with these:
Delicata Squash
Small and cute!
Have any of you tried them?
The sweet girl who checked me out said she'd tried them and they were very good.
She put a little sea salt on them.
I'll let you know what I think.
At one dollar, I couldn't resist!
And, I liked that the label said Product of the USA.
After my trip to TJs I walked into my Village.
Had lunch.
Checked out the 2015 calendars at Half-Price Books and walked home.
Cubs baseball now and then football.
That's it for me.
Today I'm joining the lovely Judith for Mosaic Monday
and The Fabulous Fall Party.
Wishing YOU well and much joy!
"Delicious Autumn!
My very soul is wedded to it,
and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."
~George Eliot
