A Potpourri of Fall Delights and Thursdays Favorite Things Party~

Hello and welcome to Thursdays Favorite Things!  I'm still saying Happy November because it still doesn't feel like it here! 81 degrees here today! Too warm for Fall. However, I am hoping and praying it will eventually arrive.  I am blessed to be joining a beautiful group of bloggers as a co-hostess for this fantastic weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers too! You ladies are knocking it out of the park with all your beautiful tips, tricks, and treats!

Happy November!

Happy November, friends! I'm so excited to (maybe) start seeing some Fall weather around here. Oh, how I long for the chill in the air and the need to pull on a favorite sweater, warm robes, and slippers... California, ahem, Halloween day, yesterday, 78 degrees here.  I'm SO hopeful, though! It has to come sooner or later, right?! I'll keep waiting, I hope you are enjoying your Fall season, wherever you may be joining me from.  If you haven't had the chance yet, please do check out my wonderful Savory Roasted Pumpkin Soup recipe I shared with you all last week and please check out this week's Features!

Welcoming Autumn Anew, Every Year!

Isn't it wonderful that we all have our own way of welcoming each Season in our homes and in our hearts?! I love that! Whether it be through some special decor project, a recipe that you've been waiting for the cooler weather to make, or as simple as getting your favorite sweater or fuzzy slippers out. We all(I am speaking in general, of course)  do or have something that speaks "AUTUMN" or "Fall", "Summer" or "Spring', "Winter" into existence for us at our homes and in our hearts.

This year, as most of you know, I find Autumn coming while I am in between homes. One that has sold, and I have not yet discovered the new one that God has waiting for me. That doesn't mean, by any stretch of the imagination, that I am not rejoicing over the arrival of Autumn! Quite the contrary is true, it is the changing color of each leaf,  the first few sprinkles of rain, the chill in the air and my fuzzy slippers and cozy robe that bring peace and a greater sense of home than any house could provide.
