So I stayed inside all day, in the air conditioning, and pretended it was much cooler outside than it was. And I did a lot of the things I said I wanted to do.
I decorated my home for fall.
And I decorated some more--until I was done!
I roasted a chicken. And I made mashed potatoes, green beans, and gravy.
I made apple-something. No photo, but I baked a couple of apples and served them with vanilla ice cream. Maybe tomorrow I'll make an Apple Hill Cake. Or apple pie. Or apple turnovers.
And soup? I even made soup!
So what if it was over 100 degrees outside? Inside, fall has arrived!
Well, I just don't understand it - I went out yesterday, worked out which direction and BLEW as hard as I could so autumn got to you. Perhaps I blew so hard it went straight through and into your house?
ReplyDeleteYour decorating looks wonderful! And all the food is yummy good. I too decorated a little for fall, DH says I am too early!
ReplyDeleteYou better watch those black birds. They will get your food.
ReplyDeleteLooks great . Just don't go outside and you will think it's fall.
Your decorations are great & i am looking at this as time is getting on for Sunday Lunch & feeling hungry with all you done we got Roast Beef & roasted vegetables when i do it instead of being on the computer reading blogs lol

What a wonderful fall day you had. Fall has arrived here with much much cooler weather and rain. I made soup last night and enjoyed every bit.
ReplyDeleteYour home sure says Fall! Even your supper!!
ReplyDeleteYour decorations look great. Now I feel bad - Fall has arrived here but I haven't decorated a thing yet! Guess I better get moving!
ReplyDeleteyep fall has arrived and you have been very busy. Everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat does it....I'm getting my fall stuff out, o'wait I took all of my fall stuff to my store years ago, o'well guess I'll have to go out and buy more...and yes today it feels like fall, I'm gonna get up from the computer and make cinnamon orange pancakes for breakfast that'll really make the house smell fallish.
ReplyDeleteNice work Kim! I love how you decorate for fall...puts mine to shame! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour decorating is always so wonderful! What kind of soup is that? Looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteCan I get your recipe for the roast chicken? It looks yummy. I'm sure it was.

I guess it's just too hard to send fall weather to the west. sorry! but you did a good job of bringing it into the house!
ReplyDeletesometimes ... when your ship doesn't come in ... you just have to swim out to it!
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteFall has arrived inside your house- as always it looks beautiful- I have the fall box sitting on the floor in front of me waiting for me to get busy and change the summer decor to fall. You were one busy lady yesterday- and that stuffed chicken looks yummy.
Have you always lived in Northern California?
Fall is beginning to appear here in Alberta- though we had the hottest day on record last Wednesday. It was 34 degrees celcius - my classroom was a cooking place I can tell you..
The leaves on our boulevard are beginning turn yellow - they will soon form a glorious yellow canopy over the street.
If you get a chance, you may want to pop by my blog and check out my thrifty finds- I thought of you as I played at the flea market table.
Warmest regards,
Anna
You made my day!
ReplyDeleteThe decorating that you did is wonderful. Don't you love what Dianne said about swimming out to the ship if it doesn't come in! Never heard that one before and I can envision you out there swimming away.

This is scary, we both made the same thing for dinner!!! I am working on my stitching, I don't want to get sent to the principal's office!!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

Apple Hill is in full swing. I was up there yesterday - lots of pumpkins - mostly $1.00 a pound as pumpkins did not do too well with the crazy weather this year (so they say); good pies, great cider, lots of crafts - many of the oldies but goodies.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you had fun decorating today! I love all of your Fall things especially that spider basket. Scary!!!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks wonderful! The decorations, the food and I can only imagine the desert...I am still waiting for fall here also.. 109 doesn't say fall to me...LOL
ReplyDeleteThat tree with the crows is great.
