Southern Autumn
Special Note: Pray for Teagan
Life just really gets crazy sometimes! We have just been crazy busy lately, which is a good thing for our business. Looks like soon, we’ll be finished with some major projects and, maybe, I can get back to regular posting again. I’m sorry I’ve been kind of a “no show” lately.
In the meantime, I’m sharing a quiet little setting from last Fall that reminds me of some not quite as crazy days!
Enjoy and be sure to go check out all the wonderful tablesettings at Between Naps on the Porch with Susan!
At the edge of the yard in a quiet little spot.
A wonderful spot to enjoy a cup of tea and a good book
and some late afternoon sunshine
Some cookies and a crisp apple to enjoy
The book is The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton - a very good book
A little fall decor to make it extra special
A very special fall afternoon
Today’s Lagniappe: Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Apple Cherry Stuffing
A yummy one from Betty Crocker and something to add to Crockpot Wednesday with Dining With Debbie.

1 medium tart cooking apple, peeled and chopped (1 cup)
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup Progresso® chicken broth (from 32-ounce carton)
6 pork boneless loin chops, about 1/2 inch thick
1. Spray inside of 4- to 5-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
2. Mix all ingredients except pork. Place half of the stuffing mixture in slow cooker; top with pork. Spoon remaining stuffing mixture over pork.
3. Cover and cook on low heat setting 6 to 8 hours or until pork is tender.

Slow cooker pork chops sound perfect for the coming chilly evenings. It did occur to me that as busy as you have been lately, the moment spent in your lovely back yard had to be good for your body, mind, and spirit. In this day and age, good business is a nice problem to have. Thank you for sharing your lovely design and your yummy recipe. Cherry Kay
