September 11th
"This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world."
from President George W. Bush's Address to the Nation
delivered September 11, 2001

~Fall Nesting 2010~
With nearly a 100 percent chance of rain in the forecast, I decided it sounded like a good day to do a little fall nesting! And, I could join in The Inspired Room's 3rd Annual Fall Nesting Party. This year I'm nesting in a new-t0-me home. Such fun to decide were to put things!
I started the morning with some fall flavored coffee of course. :-)
~Dunkin' Donuts Cinnamon Spice~
I finished up my ~Autumn Wreath~ candle last year.
So I purchased Yankee Candle's fragrance of the month for September,
~Autumn Leaves~.
With the rain on the roof, my new candle burning,
and plenty of coffee in my cup,
I emptied the hutch of it's summertime contents.
I replaced the Phaltzgraf dishes and ice cream parfait glasses...
...with the wonderful colors of autumn.
I got out all my favorite fall cookbooks.
Each one is filled with yummy, hearty,
tummy warming recipes.
And, I went to the closet to retrieve some fall decorations.
But I left the Halloween
and Thanksgiving boxes stored away for a little while longer.
I took everything off the butlers pantry
and gave myself a clean slate to work with.
Using what I had,
I wanted to create a homey autumn look.
And I loved the way it turned out!
This will definitely be a spot in the house
that I will really enjoy decorating seasonally. :-)
Lastly, I put some fall leaves
on the bookshelves and fireplace mantle
in the library.
There's still plenty more to do,
but I thought today was a great start
for getting our home warm and cozy for fall!
Please head over to The Inspired Room
for much more autumn inspiration and Fall Nesting.
I've visited several sites so far, and have gotten many, many neat ideas!
Thanks so much for visiting me. :-)

The chicks are 6 weeks old!
I had a bit of a scare today!
I looked out the kitchen window to check on the chickens
around mid morning.
From the window, I couldn't see them in their yard,
so I went outside and peeked in their house.
They weren't in there! Where had they gone ??
I had a bit of panic and then thought to look up at the roosts.
There they were!
All of them up perching and looking a bit confused!
I wondered if they were going to be able to get down?
While I was thinking about it, Miss Loretta took off!
She landed safely and looked up at the other girls as if to say,
"Whatcha waiting on?" ;-)
Tammy was next.
Jenna Rae and Dolly talked it over.
Jenna Rae took flight.
And then came Dolly.
Little, timid, Emmy Lou, the last to go.
Whew! They learned something new on
the day they turned six weeks old. :-)
Can you tell that Tammy's waddle is forming?
Emmy Lou 6 weeks
Patsy 6 weeks
Loretta 6 weeks
Tammy 6 weeks
Dolly 6 weeks
