    Having dinner out on the terrace is my favorite spot and the weather is getting to the point where it will be enjoyable again. Love this time of year! I was out of town much of the week so just now getting by to visit the TT posts. Thanks for sharing your dinner table. ~ Sarah

    Lovely fall table. Don’t you just love this time of year? Back from our nightly wall, and it’s crisp outside, and someone was burning leaves.
