The chef and I along with our sweet Sadie girl
enjoy nice morning walks though our neighborhood.
Lately I've noticed that some have already
added wreaths with red bows,
greenery swags on doors and windows,
and Christmas lights in trees and on houses.
Whoa, Nellie!
I'm not ready to move on into the holiday season
of red and green, holly, and Christmas trees.
I'm still savoring the softness of autumn
with its russets and warm earthy colors.
I like to see pumpkins and gourds
and fall flowers at the entry of homes
to welcome guests and those of us who stroll
by on neighborhood walks.
The chef is currently
at work planning the menu.
Like the squirrels burying their winter stash,
I too am savoring the delights of autumn
for the winter months ahead.
Yes, I want to savor the delights
of autumn before I embrace the upcoming
transition into the holiday season
and winter months ahead.
What about you?
Are you one to eagerly rush into
the holiday frenzy?
Have you already begun to decorate
for the Christmas season like many of my neighbors?

We are still all about
turkeys and pumpkins here.
Lots of soft lush and plump
velvet pumpkins!
And favorite containers filled with
beautiful fall flowers.
Thanksgiving will be scaled back this year,
only a small group of friends for brunch rather
than a dinner for twelve as is often tradition.

I plan to share a tad more autumn bliss
before the end of November,
but the first week of December I will join
Laura @ Decor to Adore's
Christmas in Texas Blog Hop.
Like in the image above, I will have some
uniquely Texas decor to share.
