It’s not the end of warm weather; it’s the beginning of fireside snuggling.

My King always picked this for me whenever we stopped at
a little park on the Peconic Bay when we lived on Long Island.
Seed pods often are as pretty as the flowers that preceded them.

Antique Apples: Calville Blanc, grown in Louis XIII’s garden, this French
dessert apple should be eaten in the company of an aged Cheddar or robust Stilton.

wishing I had every apple in this article I planted a Mutsu in my orchard.
Autumn is ripe fulfillment, pregnant with seeds. Reap the harvest.
Until next time, stay snuggly!

I love stopping by your Shabby Streamside Studio. Each visit is simply glorious.
I hope that you will stop by my Shabby Old House too.
Your little dog standing on top of the huge pumpkin is ....darling! Your dogs don't look real. They are way too cute. I love your little cottage. I first saw your blog last year at Christmas and it was so beautiful. It's just a magical place.
Soooo beautiful Sandy !
Your little puppy looks just
adorable on the pumpkin !
~* LOVE your baby..soo darling with the little ribbon~* Beautiful images too!~*~*Hugs,Rachel
Dearest Sandy,
Loved seeing also the publication in Casa Romantica! Quite an Italian compliment!
Your Zuzu is a Queeny, look at her with such a cute expression. Guess she's also able to read all your publications.
Oh, about the old fashioned apples, that is a dream but hardly feasible. BUT if it was not for dreams, we all would not be reading this blog...
Stay cozy and love that little queeny Suzu; she's so precious!
Sunny greetings from Georgia,

Love the way you've dressed up your pumpkin!!
Its so sweet that little doggie on the pumpkin! Your cottage looks so inviting, as usual....!I enjoyed the botanicals and fruits as well!
Beautiful photos of the cottage in the Fall, Sandy. And I love little ZuZu on the pumpkin with her matching bow! I also clicked on your link in your right-hand side bar and checked out your videos on You Tube. What a great husband you have -- using such an ingenius idea to get your mantle across the stream! And little ZuZu at 12 weeks was adorable enough to eat up! I think you would like my house too. If you get a chance, check out this post where my son took a picture of the front so I could upload it. Here it is: http://thelittleredhousewiththewhiteporch.blogspot.com/2010_10_17_archive.html
Take care,
Gloria
P.S. The photo of the front of my house is on the Oct 17th post.

I so envy your magnificent little house in the woods! I enjoyed watching your visit to the Nate Show. Thanks for sharing your beautiful world with us. Blessings!
Beautiful images and words! Your little cottage looks like the perfect place to snuggle down with a good book and some hot cocoa:) We've had tons of rain here in So Cal and I'm loving it!!!
As usual, I am swooning. Have a wonderful fall!
Judy
That doggy of yours is adorable and so photogenic! Happy snuggling!
