Autumn Tablescape on the Patio


As you can see, it's very green around my patio.  No fall color here,
nor will there ever be.  The azaleas stay green all year round.  So any
touches of fall have to be brought in from other sources.





The heat and humidity have returned.  Our brief respite lasted two days
last weekend and now the steam bath has returned.



I am trying to recover from what I thought was a cold but has turned into
a much nastier virus.  I really hate being sick and I am a lousy patient.
I would really rather be up and around and busy doing things instead
of being a couch potato, but that is all I can handle right now.
Hope everything is well with you.

    So sorry you aren't feeling well, Susan. Hope you are on the mend and can enjoy all that nasty humidity. Just kidding. It is enough to make you sick!

      I just stay inside when it's so humid ~ even when I am feeling well.

    No color here in Dallas either, Susan. In a month or so the leaves will fall off the trees but not much color goes along with that process. Your table is so pretty! Hope you feel better.

      When David and I were first married we lived in the countryside in Virginia. The color and the fall festivals were the best I have ever seen. You and I should get a whole group of Texans together and make the trip east one year so we can take in all the splendor!

      It's "Rose Chintz" by Johnson Brothers. One of my favorite patterns ~ but then I am a dishaholic ;-)

    Was thinking today about whether or not to get a flu shot. Have not gotten one in several years now. Some of my friends get one...some do not.I used to get the flu almost every year but have not had the flu now for several years. Let me tell you...honey it ain't no fun! Take care. You do not want this to develope into something worse. Get well soon. Your tablescape is gorgeous. I keep looking at your rose china. It is absolutely to die for!

    Love your tablescape. The dishes are beautiful. We don't get a lot of Fall around here in So CA either. Fall I love so much, but maybe we will get a little.
    Feel better and take care of yourself. Be a couch potato with Bentley. Bet he loves to snuggle.
