I Like Thursday # 478 Fall Decorations, fun videos, pretty colors


the calendar says Autumn the temperatures are summery 80's in Aurora! At least the trees are very pretty! 

I think I'm sick, seeing double, and headachy because the neighborhood is replacing all gas tubes here. For 7 weeks now. But I just took yet another ibuprofen so on with this week's show

Let's start with two funnies




I had to pull all the teeeeeny tomatoes off the bush because of one overnight cold temp... so I tried to make fried green tomatoes like I grew up with. Slice, then salt, coat in flour saute in oil til crispy
they may look funny but they tasted SUPERB! 

we had two large Bartlett pears, so I made pear tart a good fall dish... and was it ever tasty!!!
made a half recipe and it's one I make often. 

then since it was cooler that day I went on to make pumpkin bars, sooooooooo good
pretty quick to make and the crust is like a thick cookie.... makes a big pan too

we like to make up a bowl of whipped cream to go with.... one cup cold cream, 4 Tbsp powder sugar, 1 tsp almond extract, whip in a mixer til firm. Lasts several days in the fridge too. 
pumpkin on the hoof (in a neighbor's yard)

I hung up one of my Fall quilts and am busy sewing on this year's Fall piece from scraps
I had a scrap bag of pieces left from my other Fall quilts, and after sorting through it, found a lot of little squares, more on this one on Saturday if God sees fit to heal me from the toxins around us

Conversation Starter this week:  Do you decorate for fall/ Thanksgiving? 

I love this basket to hold plants, that lovely plant was gifted to me from a friend in Maryland, it came here, pretended to die off but came back like Lazarus. I have that silk garland which fit around it, and 4 small candles that look like pine cones, I won't burn! 
on the baker's rack

mantel

the purse I shared last Saturday, made with fall scraps
from the scrappy squares bag! I am loving it

I have a boiled wool sweater with pumpkins around the yoke... old as the hills, but I wear it still

here's looking at you kid (eyes on a aspen)
I have orange lights on the stair rails, on timers to go off after I'm upstairs. 

had to purchase the 3rd book in my series, library has 10 of them but not that one.... oy, so I am finishing one of the Jana DaLeon Fortune books from the library

most heartwarming short video, spirit touches spirit horse and dog

I had to laugh at the funny about the Thanksgiving foods touching each other on your plate. My dad used to say that it all goes in the same place so what's the problem?!☺ Love the Aspen bark and all of your beautiful and creative work! I never decorate for Thanksgiving because my home is decorated for Christmas for Thanksgiving.
