Welcome!
Come on into our garden and enjoy a quiet respite on this warm sunny afternoon.
I have a comfortable chair for you with a cup of hot organic apple cider. Relax and enjoy a peek through a nice magazine or just enjoy the beauty of the falling leaves.

Autumn garden scenes this past week.
Hope you enjoyed a quiet autumn respite among the beauty of nature.
Today, I am joining Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday and A Delightsome Life for A Return to Loveliness.
I pray for safety of all in the path of Hurricane Sandy and for those who have already suffered loss and devastation. My heart goes out to all of you.
Take care,
Carolyn

Carolyn. Simply just beautiful. I feel very relaxed just looking at it..Happy Monday..Judy
Ciao, sono Stefania, questi colori sono meravigliosi, sembra un posto magico....ma forse lo è...
Buona serata
It's so beautiful in your gardens in fall. I think it might be my favourite season there because of the warm colours. I see the squirrel chewed around the hole into his new house so he could fit inside. :) Have you picked up the new Christmas Cottage issue? I got mine a week ago. Pamela
Carolyn, lovely pictures again and such rich color. I love your autumn scene. It seems like you were just readying your garden for the spring and summer. Time is flying by!
What a a beautiful serene place to take up a cup of tea! May I ask about your mums- do you buy these beautiful pots like this or grow them? I would love to have beautiful full pots of mums like this without spending the fortune to buy them each year.

Carolyn, your pictures are just lovely. I really like the first one with your father's bicycle in it. The colours are just stunning! Sweet birdhouse too. Hot apple cider sounds really good about now. Thank you for joining me for tea and I hope Sandy doesn't do any damage to your lovely property.
Blessings,
Sandi
Such a pretty, welcoming gate. Your tea settings are always so sweet. The colours today are beautiful.
Lovely images, Carolyn. So relaxing. And the hot cider? Delish! Thanks.
So far so good in Western Massachusetts. Lots of wind and rain but we are safe and hunkered down for the night. Hoping for the best. Susan

So beautiful and colourful in autumn, you have a lovely garden. Best Wishes Karen.
I should like to sit over there in that chair at the gate with hot apple cider looking around me and enjoy the lovely autumn colours, and than I should forget the beautiful autumn cottage magazine but keep that to read at the fire in the evening.
What a beautiful garden!

You have had a great autumn up north my dear.. just stunning colors and weather.
After this storm finally passes (working on day 5 here) most of the just turning leaves will have been blown away. So let me sit back and enjoy your views instead.
warm hugs,

Hi, Carolyn,
Your pictures are so beautiful.
Can you please tell me the info on the book you are showing, author or ISBN#. I tried to look it up under "Autumn Cottage", but came up with nothing.
Thank you.
Donna
This speaks serenity. Love the beautiful fence and the Adirondack chair with the mums - beautiful autumn colors - Autumn definitely looks beautiful in your garden. I do appreciate you sharing with A Return to Loveliness,
Kathy
I've told you so many times but...let me tell you once again:
your home, garden, cottage look like if they came out of a fairy tale. It is always a pleasure to visit you.

Oh, I think this is fall perfection! Every details is just amazing. LOVE the leaves and mums and pumpkins and throw and wreath and bicycle... fall perfection!
Beautiful! As always, you have featured a vignette that has captured the peace and serenity of the season. I continue to admire that wood chair with the big round back, and found myself drawn to the throw. It looks like it's knitted from Lion Brand Homespun (my favorite for chunky rich-colored afghans, shawls, etc.). But I haven't used that colorway yet. Hmmmmmm......
Stunning !!!
Oh my goodness Carolyn, your place is just beautiful in autumn too...I would love to join you right in that chair by that gorgeous fence with a hot cup of cider!
It would be splendid sitting there with you xo

Absolutely beautiful, and I think that top magazine was the best they have published in years. I have looked at it time and again.
Thank you for the nice cup of tea and a little R&R...I was in great need of that :^)
Blessings to you,
J
How absolutely gorgeous! I really love that wreath on the gate and the hot apple cider sounds just right for an autumn day.
Hi Carolyn,
You have captured the warmth of autumn very nice. Lovely photos as always! We have had frost several days now and a very chilly air, making the trees bare leaving sticky brown leafs in piles on the ground. It even snowed one day last week. Winter is coming.
I want to congratulate you on being featured in Franciska´s Christmas book. It looks wonderful. I think I have to order a copy.
Have a nice day,
Sanna
Your photos look like magazine covers!!! Beautiful warm colors, stunning photography and such a relaxing cozy place!
Carolyn, the last some nights I was on your blog. Your pictures and comments are so wonderful and you are the fantastic lady.

I have been enjoying your garden's so much this summer. And now I have a question. Do you plant bulbs every fall? Can you tell us about your fall plantings?
Thanks for your lovely blog. I enjoy it for inspiration and relaxation.

Complimenti per il blog è meraviglioso...fa sognare!Baci
