Farmhouse Friday - Fall at the Farmhouse

Happy Friday Friends

It's been a sad and depressing week in our world.

I almost did not blog this week but then I thought, this is what makes me happy to share with you all and I don't want to let sadness win! 

I just cant believe that we live in a world where events like Las Vegas can even happen.  Where people become so numb to love for one another.  

We have had the news off on the television, as our son gets very anxious with bad/sad news. Sometimes avoidance is necessary. 

Instead of chatting about world news, I thought I would give y'all a sneak peek into our home as we prep for fall, even though temps are in the 80's this weekend.

We have been doing a lot of fall cooking and baking. Pumpkin and pear everything. What is it about fall time that has us ready to bake and cook up a storm? We bring out our slow cookers and hunker down for the season. 

We are so thankful that our Asian pear trees gave us so much fruit this year. We are enjoying all the benefits of having the freshest fruit each day!  

These shelves are in our kitchen but facing our living room. It's a half wall that we wanted to make sure we used as much space as we could. So for now, this is what remains here. Who knows, come Christmas, what it will look like. 

One question I get asked a lot on Instagram, is why do we have numbers on our interior doors.  The answer is simple....I said to my husband, I feel like I am on vacation in this home. It has that vibe of a casual feel and numbers on the doors seem appropriate for a vacation home.  Each door has it's own number. Some are metal and some are vinyl as they change. The children's bedroom doors are their ages, so those change. 

I think someone made these boards just for people like me who need change all the time in their decor. lol  I could probably use like 5 of them in the house. 

See that beautiful stone fireplace? Well it is currently in need of repair 8(   It is double sided and is shared with our master bedroom. When we moved in last summer, we fired it up in the fall and the doors in the bedroom shattered.  So we replaced them and it happened again...SO we found out we need a new insert to the tune of too much money, so I am thinking we convert it to gas for now. We shall see. 

The mountain and pond are always the first to change colors.  Fall in the Northeast is just breathtaking. 

Thanks for stopping by, I am really blessed to have such awesome followers!  I hope your fall is full of beauty and love!  Until next time...be blessed!
