I have a free gift for you today.
Thinking the other day about Fall activities, I started making a list of things I wanted to do this fall. Then I got to thinking. Maybe all of you would like it as well. So I can up with this.
Then I wanted to share these pictures with you as well. These are my porch decorations.










Don’t you just love these huge squash? I thought they were so much fun. While I ove squash soup but I can’t imagine trying to cut this up! Think I’ll pass on this one.
I love this piece. It weighs a ton but isn’t it cool? Found it at a garage sale for $5.00 and I had to have it. The braided iron handle is great. This is one of my favorite pieces.

I’ll get back to some serious posting next week. I needed a break. As you recall my husband had a heart attack six weeks ago. He’s doing amazingly well but those few weeks were particularly stressful for me so I’ve been doing more “fun” stuff the last couple of weeks. Hope you understand.
Have a blessed day.
