Good thing that scarecrow is there to keep the crows out of the house plants.

Our friends Eve and Nancy at The House of Realty provided us with this big pumpkin with the pretty decorations. They gave these to their customers and vendors. We did their real estate website so we were the lucky recipients of this pretty pumpkin.

You've seen the top of the TV cabinet before, decorated for fall.

I love decorating for fall. After a long hot summer, it is nice to welcome some cooler temperatures and warm things up on the inside with beautiful fall colors, just as the colors are changing outside as well.

Now, for some refreshments:

Today’s Lagniappe:  Pumpkin Dip
Serve this in a small hollowed out pumpkin with spiced wafers, apple slices or gingersnaps – yummy and pretty.

4 c. powdered sugar
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese
1 can (30 oz.) pumpkin pie filling
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger

Combine sugar and softened cream cheese until well blended. Beat in remaining ingredients. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I do believe that you should publish more on this issue, it may not be a taboo matter but typically folks don’t speak about these subjects. To the next! All the best!!

    Right now it seems like Drupal is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

    Aw, this was a very nice post. Taking the time and actual effort to generate a superb article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never seem to get anything done.

    Can I simply say what a comfort to find a person that truly understands what they are discussing on the net. You actually realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. A lot more people have to read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular given that you surely possess the gift.

    At this time it seems like BlogEngine is the top blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
