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.
Grabbing a bite to eat.
Beautiful bush in front of a neighbors house.
Decorating for the season. Love the red hat.
At Master Gardeners we would say this rose bush had good hips!
I love how they have landscaped around the mailbox.
This is a tree in our own backyard.
The stems of the pokeweed are such a pretty red/purple.
A little outdoor red for Outdoor Wednesday with A Southern Daydreamer and Rednesday! with It’s a Very Cherry and today’s lagniappe is a great idea for Crockpot Wedneday with Dining with Debbie.
Today’s Lagniappe: Slow Cooker Apple Praline Crisp

1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup toffee bits
Ice cream, if desired

2. In medium bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, flour and butter with pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Stir in pecans and toffee bits. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over apples.
3. Cover; cook on LOW heat setting 4 to 5 hours. Serve with a scoop of ice cream

I love all of the beautiful reds of Mother Nature that you shared! Especially that bird. Maybe a woodpecker? And that burning bush is amazing!
Happy Rednesday!

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…
