A Southern Life

Southern Open House

Come on in, take a tour of the house with it’s fall decorations and have a bite to eat. It’s time for Hooked on House Tours with Hooked on Houses and Foodie Friday with Designs by Gollum.

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.

    When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? Cheers!
