Officially fall has arrived.
Even though there are little signs of it so far,
the weather is the first to tell the tale.
Our days are still sunny and bright but the nights have turned considerably cooler.
Our porch sitting in the evenings,
while Rugby and Robin prepare for bedtime,
is requiring another layer of warmth
each time we take to the rocking chairs.
Things are slowly moving towards normal around here.
Not to the tune of the old normal
but to the excitement of things to come.
By excitement I mean
when one of us drags the vacuum out of the closet.
Big things will be accomplished!
Healthwise, we are both doing well.
I still have back issues and my eyes are improving
week by week.
The Captain's sciatica has quieted down
but he has to be careful
that he doesn't do anything to aggravate his back issues.
All in all, we are able to keep up
our TV viewing in fine spirits.
"Suits", on Netflix, is our show of choice right now
and it is a good one.
As promised:
I promised you pictures of Jake's and Jacenda's wedding and we just got some.
It was a beautiful ceremony
and the memories will be so special.
I have ordered prints and can't wait to pick out
some pretty frames to display them in...
...I ordered this one as a canvas print
and it turned out so well.
I just happened to have this frame that it fits in.
This frame is just made out of plastic
but is really pretty and doesn't look like it.
I use it for a number of different decor situations
so this is temporary
but I loved it placed on the fall mantel.
Speaking of which, I haven't done much fall decorating
but I did get to the parlor mantel
so wanted to share that with you now.
Hope you are all well
and enjoying some wonderful autumn weather.
We just got the first of our winter flu shots...
Until next time, my friends.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Janice. We are doing well and enjoying the beautiful autumn weather..xxoJudy
DeleteJudy, the pictures are lovely! Weren't they just little not to long ago. I'm glad you both are doing well....I think I'm going to try to watch "Suits" also, looks like it is a good one. Kathie
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kathie. Yes, it was just yesterday that Jake walked down the hall carrying my pillow when we came to visit, saying "Oh it's so hebby!!! I always remember that when I look at him. They are both great and lovely kids. I think you will like Suits. We are just about through the final season and I'm already having withdrawals!..Happy Fall..xxoJudy
DeleteJudy, this is all lovely! I pinned your mantel for inspiration. Great mix, and colors. I recently found a vintage redware crock to add to my redware group, and I'm going to fill it with sunflowers and leaves just as you did. Congratulations to this darling couple. Love seeing the photos.
ReplyDeleteI apologize I've not been a present blogging friend of late. This has been a difficult year!
Happy Fall!
Thanks so much, Sarah. Your new crock sounds wonderful and fall just screams for sunflowers and grasses. It will be beautiful. You are right about this being a difficult year. Hope we can look forward to a better one..Happy Fall..xxoJudy
DeleteI enjoyed your posting and what a wonderful wedding!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Bernideen. It really was a beautiful wedding. Two kids to be really proud of..Happy Fall..xxoJudy
DeleteOh Judy! What a glorious wedding. The setting was as beautiful as the bride and groom and the ring bearer is adorable! I love your mantel --- it's perfect with the photo, too. Also loving those fall pillows in your first post. I'm glad you are both doing well and Captain's sciatica has eased. You two take care!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jeanie. Things are really doing better now and we are thankful. The wedding really was beautiful. A day to remember..Hope all is well with you and Rick..Happy Autumn..xxoJudy
DeleteJudy, Congratulations to all, what a beautiful couple and what a stunning wedding setting. The colors of the flowers are just amazing. I love that Jake's boutonniere is basically a mini bouquet with all the colors. Now that is a stunning touch. So glad to hear you're both feeling well...and vacuuming! Woo hoo! That's the kind of excitement we have around here, too! Happy Fall my friend!
ReplyDeleteHello, Judy, so nice to see a post from you! The wedding looks so sweet. Such a pretty setting, too. Love the flowers and the bride looks so lovely in her gorgeous dress. Congratulations to the happy couple! I really love how you displayed the photo on your mantel, too. Glad to hear that you are feeling well and managing the important things in life, like decorating, vacuuming and keeping up with all the Netflix shows! That's the routine around here, too. We are looking for a new show and were wondering if Suits was good, so thanks for the review. I'm really glad to have cooler weather now so I have an excuse to stay cozy inside! Sending hugs xo K
ReplyDeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the newlyweds! Beautiful pictures!! The parlor mantle looks so lovely with the picture of the newly married couple as it's focal point! Stunning!! I was glad to see a post from you...
Take care
Hugs,
Deb
HI Judy! Thought I had answered this but guess not! I usually answer it "in my mind" so sometimes it doesnt' get written down. The photos of the wedding are just gorgeous! I bet it was a grand time. Whoever the photographer was, he/she took great shots. I love that you said you can watch TV in style now! I too binge watched Suits last winter and loved it so much (before Meghan was married to Harry). It's fun to go back and watch her now (again!). She WAS a very good actress.
ReplyDeleteYour parlor mantel looks so pretty. I love the birds on the garland. Is that paper or wood? Great idea. I'm finally getting into the Fall mood, as a few trees are changing colors now. It seems earlier than usual here to have the gold and orange leaves.
I'm glad you are both feeling well. Once our backs give us grief, it never seems to quit. We may have periods where it's pretty "ok", but then something out of the blue can make it flare up and be not so good again for awhile. No matter how careful I am, I always manage to do something weird to cause some pain.
Take care as you head into the Fall decorating!
Hugs...

Thanks, so much, Marilyn. Those back issues are a huge pain! The venue supplied the photographer and she was good. The whole thing was really beautiful. Isn't that M. Markle a doll? I just loved her and Mike together on the show. It was good all the way through, we just finished it, but I didn't enjoy it as much after they left. Have to cut this short as I'm out the door for eye doc. Another shot!! but doing well..It was good hearing from you..Take care..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteHi Judy! I am oh so happy to see a post from you! What aR beautiful wedding and Jake & Jacinda's picture looks perfect in that beautiful frame. Glad to hear you guys are doing better. Suits is a favorite of ours. We also love Designated Survivor and Madam Secretary. I really need to start blogging again. I thought once I retired I'd be blogging constantly, but if anything, I blog less. Hopefully I will return to regular posting - I keep threatening, lol. Anyway, happy fall to you!
ReplyDeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteMe again!! Fall weather has finally made it's way to Pa. but because of all the rain and heat that we have had, our Fall Foliage season is way behind schedule with most of the tree still green. Hopefully, the wind and the rain predicted for the next several days will not knock them all down before they have a chance to turn colors....Thanks so much for stopping by!! glad to hear that your eyes and back are doing okay along with your husband's....Take care, my friend!! I miss your posts...
Hugs,
Deb
Happy Fall to you dear Judy! What a gorgeous wedding, such beautiful pictures! Fall has been such a lovely season here, and I haven't decorated much, because the outdoors has kept me so busy - my garden is still producing, for which I am so very thankful! I love the picture of Jake and Jacenda on your mantle, just beautiful! Praying that you and your husband continue to do well, and that you are enjoying many more beautiful Fall days. Blessings!
ReplyDeletePlease Read.You have a great post here, Have anyone here know Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.For my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
ReplyDeleteUp to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr jekawo herbal doctor hands whom god has blessed with ancestral powers and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD, Hepatitis... So I made a purchase of his herbal medicines and I have been watching my health for 6 years now and I actually confirmed that his herbal medicines are a permanent cure and I'm so happy that I came to know of his herbal healings.You can contact Dr Jekawo herbal doctor Email: drjekawo@gmail.com if you went through exactly what I go through in terms of health conditions because to be honest there is more to learn about natural herbs than medical drugs.
