Autumnal Thoughts

on
That quintessential, cool nip is today in the Autumn air of afternoon.
The sun is out, casting a warmth that penetrates my body even through the brisk winds. 
The weather is, by every definition, beautiful. 
A crisp breeze is in the air and leaves have begun their journey into various shades of amber and crimson in preparation for their release.
It is Fall. 
 It is this season that I most enjoy the outdoors, taking in the gift of Gods creation, the most beautiful of all art forms.  

We may perceive them as simple things, but they are not.  They are not.
 Myself, I don't dislike times of solitude.
I cherish time spent with myself.
 I like being outside listening to the sounds of Autumn;
 the sudden upheaval of leaves accompanied by a subtle breeze, 
 trees whose limbs dance to the music of the wind, 
and the commonly seen squirrel scampering amongst the trees then burrowing into the earth adding to his food cache.
Today I enjoyed my time alone with my thoughts.

    We really are having a lovely autumn. You have set such a lovely and restful tea table. Did that earthquake rattle your house this weekend? We felt it up here.

    Beautiful spot to have tea...I love the red leaves on the vine as it cascades down the wall behind your tea table. That is a gorgeous teapot and cup set. Happy Fall!

    Nancy,
    Thank you for sharing your special place to have some "Me Time"! Your table setting and tea cup is stunning! I'm enjoying how the purple hue of your throw on the chair blends harmonously with your setting!
    Fondly,

    I agree with everything On Crooked Creek wrote.
    I add, I never thought about the sound of autumn before reading your blog today - you're spot on about the sound

    Your setting for tea looks wonderfully inviting surrounded by all that lovely Fall foilage. Your transferware china is beautiful, I'd love to join you for tea... How did you know Constant Comment was one of my favorite teas?

    I truly enjoyed my visit, I hope you can stop by to visit me also:)

    FALL is so adorable. It's the fave time of the year. Looking around with all living things changing their lives and hibernate, for me, it's miracle.

    I love the way you set your nook and loving every details.

    Happy TTT...

    What a pretty spot to sit. Doesn't the vine all turned colors look so pretty with your tablescape. Mom Grandmother used to drink Constant Comment all the time and I always think of her. I usually have it in my cupboard in the winter. Don't right now...so I better go get some. Just lovely.
