I haven't done much fall
decorating this year.
I did happen to find myself in the $ Store for the first time in a couple of years
and saw these really cute little plates.
I had the larger dinner plates for some years that happened to be also
from the $ Store.
I put them together with
napkins and place mats
that I have had for a long while
and with bits and pieces of
autumnal fruit and fauna...
A couple of other spots
where fall peeks out
but that is about the extent of
autumn in the kitchen.
We had to get a new refrigerator.
Ours went out a couple of months ago
and we called a repairman.
We had to pay him up front
for the service call
and before we could even
get the appointment,
the old girl started working again.
He said that there was nothing wrong
but, if there was,
between the cost of another service call, the part that was defective
and his wages,
it would probably be cheaper
to buy a new one.
She lasted about another month
and the same thing happened
so we took his advice
and bought a new one.
I got rid of the stainless steel
and just got a plain Jane white one.
It is a little smaller than the old one
but big enough for us
and I love how it looks
very old fashioned
and fits in with the look of the kitchen.
The biggest appeal is that
I don't have to
clean fingerprints any more.
I had to share the beautiful orchid
that the kids sent up for our anniversary.
It is absolutely gorgeous
and so far it is doing well.
Of course, it has only been
a couple of weeks so fingers crossed.
A few new buds have already opened up.
The scale of it is quite large.
I hope you all are enjoying
this beautiful season so far.
Our weather has been wonderful
but it is steadily getting colder.
What a great transition.
The Captain gets mad at me,
but I can't help feeling
Christmas in the air.
In between our lovely autumn days
we had a little rain storm.
Just enough to make the garden happy
and to justify a home-made and hot,
creamy bowl of cauliflower soup
topped with crushed Ritz crackers
and cheddar cheese.
So good!
Until next time..
