What to do Weekends #244 ~ Happy AUTUMN/FALL (Officially)!

Hello friends! Welcome. And, I finally get to say it tonight.......Happy Fall 2017!! If you follow me at all you know this is my very favorite time of year! I, very literally, count the days! :)  I'm so excited to get to start bundling up in blankets and not having to worry if it's too hot to bake or not!  I do realize that many of you live in other parts of the world and that you have endured some devastating weather. I truly apologize and I am praying that you all are dry and safe. I'm here in Northern California and the heat has been awful. I am not a small woman so when it passes 90, 100, 110 degrees Fahrenheit ... I am simply miserable and unable to do anything, hence my over exuberance for the seasonal change. 

Okay, back to the party! You all shared some wonderfully fall'ish posts that I was so excited to see! as you will note by my features this week, I have a bit of a one-track mind, lately!  On with the show! 

Please do check out the Party Board!  I do pin quite a bit to this Board every week. 

Up first, Southern Seazons shared her fun Fall Bench all decked out in her Front Entry!  Love this look! 

Cooking on the Front Burners shared this yummy recipe for Quick and Easy Upside Down Peach Cake for Two Love this recipe!
