Yesterday we were able to celebrate the season with much needed rain! Yes, it rained off and on all day, and even some into the night. We're hoping more is coming tomorrow and I wouldn't complain if it lasted all week!
Can you see the rain drops in the bird bath? I really think I heard my grass gulping down the water! So, to really get in the fall mood we went to an Amish farm that we usually go to get our eggs.
Just a few here and there and I know we'll be grabbing a few more as the month of October rolls in.I also had to grab some pumpkin yogurt for a snack.Made a new cookie recipe. Apple cinnamon. Paired with some tea and a cute plate...yum! The recipe called for cinnamon chips but couldn't find any, so I did find some pumpkin spice ones, and they were a good substitution. Jack gave it the "keeper" sign! Today we took a little adventure to a hospice run thrift store and even though there was a lot of construction on the street right in front of the shop, we made it in! They had all the Halloween, fall, and Thanksgiving stuff half price. Score! Here's my haul:A little cake stand, a really heavy Haunted House sign, a cute tiny witch, a really cute tray. OK, so this dude was really calling my name and Jack made me buy it. (That's my story and I'm sticking with it!)I did grab a few Thanksgiving things. A little turkey volitive candle holder and some pilgrims. Not a bad grab of goodies.
This was not a thrift find. A friend gave it to me because she knew I'd give it a good home. Well, it's a good start to my favorite time of year and I know there are many who are sad summer is over. We know that the cold and snow will eventually find us but for now I'm just enjoying the rain, the crunch of leaves on walks in the Creepy woods, pumpkin flavors, campfires, and of course the fun decor. Have a good first week of fall everyone!

Jack made you buy it. I love it. Love the little coffin dude. My time of year too! Happy Fall. Happy Halloween 🎃
Happy Fall Cathy! Looks like you have a great start on spooky time decor. That mummy in the coffin is pretty cool - he looks to be kinda large too. I can see your little cake plate stacked with mini decorated cupcakes or cookies. I'm sure you'll put it to great use. I, too, started pulling a few things out. I started with my vintage pulp paper jacks...they always make me smile so I thought it a good place to begin. We had some rain over the weekend. We could still use more. but I'm grateful for what we got.
