A NOVEMBER SUNDAY....FOOTBALL, OATMEAL PIE AND A FIREPLACE FOR TWO!
I love Sunday afternoons, when there is a chill in the air, football plays on tv and the house is filled with a spicy warm fragrance of home cooking!
November is normally a beautiful month in Texas. The days begin to grow chillier and the leaves are finally beginning to turn and fall. The grass is still green and becomes filtered with crunchy, dried leaves. Some days are still flip-flop weather and others call for a light fleece jacket!
When the cocktail hour begins, it's just the darling and me sitting outside by the firepit!
We bought this firepit in Maine never knowing how beautiful it would be in the Texas house! I just love sitting here! There was a party going on next door and we could hear the laughter and cheering on of the Dallas Cowboys! We had a bird pay us a visit and we finally decided he must be telling us to "feed me!" So......we put out a plate of birdseed! I beleive he knew cold weather was on the horizon!

Update on our Luke the Duke!
A visit from Wonka the Therapy Dog brought out a smile! Wonka got right up in bed and wanted to take a nap with Luke and tried to take his teddy bear when he left! — at Canine Assistants.
Thank you to beautiful Wonka and to Canine Assistants! You will be forever in our hearts!
