Southern Walk

This past weekend, the weather was so beautiful. After the football games, my husband, the dog (Bailey) and I took a walk in the neighborhood. I took along the camera to capture some of the Autumn beauty.

This beauty was in my bird feeder before we left.

    Beautiful fall color! And I love the little scarecrow with the red hat, how fun. The recipe sounds delicious, and I love anything that I can use my slow cooker for. Happy Outdoor Wednesday.

    All are lovely photos….I don’t know why, but I love that mail box with the pampas grass best. But, they’re all so beautiful. Maybe it is the sunlight…
