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.

    Aw, this was an extremely good post. Spending some time and actual effort to produce a top notch article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and don’t seem to get anything done.

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

    Currently it appears like Drupal is the preferred blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    May I just say what a comfort to discover someone that really knows what they are discussing online. You definitely know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. A lot more people have to check this out and understand this side of the story. It’s surprising you are not more popular because you definitely possess the gift.

    Can I just say what a comfort to uncover someone that genuinely knows what they’re discussing on the internet. You definitely understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people have to check this out and understand this side of your story. I was surprised you are not more popular because you most certainly possess the gift.

    The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
