Our Veranda in Fall

Last week I decided to give our veranda a new fall look.

I dug out some fabrics and pillows.

Changed the bed cover and pillows

It is so lovely to sit out here with a book and a cup of tea.

We still eat out here most days.

Love my limelight hygrangeas

Love the golden fall light

Well , that is our veranda decked out for fall.

Have a great day!

Carolyn

p.s. I posted the recipe for sticky date pudding below for those interested.

    Having been in so many landscapes I know, as nice as your veranda is in pics, it's better in person.

    Garden & Be Well, XO Tara

    'Morning Carolyn,
    Lovely and so cozy. Your hydrangeas are gorgeous! Can't wait for mine to dry out! Thank you again. I am going to try your Sticky Date Pudding recipe. I'm craving it now! How hot do you set your oven? And is that 1 tsp of baking soda? Thanks for sharing the recipe! Have a wonderful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Hi Carolyn,

    Your veranda looks like a place from a 'fairytale'. I like the hydrangea 'Limelight'. I just bought it for my own garden. Have a good weekend. groeten van Madelief

    I am enchanted by this room. Oh how I could just curl up here every afternoon for my nap. Nap!!! What nap! But if I did get naps in the summer, this is where I would want to do it. All the fabrics and pillows are just perfect.
    Hugs,

    You veranda is absolutely stunning. I can just imagine how relaxing it is to spend the afternoon there with a good book and a tall glass of tea. I don't know that I would ever go back inside :)
