Hello everyone, It is another beautiful autumn day here but we are expecting a heavy downpour and windy for the next couple of days. I was looking through my files for some of my previous fall photos and picked out some of my favorites. An autumn tea on the balcony. Cozy up with a good book and a tea in a pretty transferware tea cup. Relax by the pond. Enjoy watching the leaves gently falling to the ground. Tea on the autumn porch. A little fall whimsy. Peeking out to the porch. Our cozy autumn porch a few years ago. An autumn lunch on the porch. Tea in the garden. Another lunch in the autumn garden. An lastly relaxing around the pond with hot spiced apple cider. . I make spiced apple cider by adding a cinnamon stick,several whole cloves, a few cardamon pods and a few slices of an orange to apple cider.. I bring it to a boil and the simmer for an hour or more. Strain and serve....it is lovely in the fall and makes the house smell so good too!. I hope you enjoyed a few moments of relaxation. Now, I better get out to the garden and do a few things before the downpour hits us. Today, I am joining the tea parties at Bernideen's Tea Time Blog and Rose Chintz Cottage. Wishing you a lovely day! Carolyn
