  1. These autumn paths are so gorgeous! I wish I could walk down them. My favorite canned soup was always Campbell's Beef Barley, so I can't imagine how good homemade is!!

  6. First, Carla, your Autumn photos are so pretty. I especially liked the one with the trail. Hot raspberry tea sounds very nice right now. We are having rain and may get some snow already. I'm glad you had some warm November days. Ours has been very cold, in the 30's. Your beef barley soup sounds delicious for these cold days. It's always nice to get letters and notes from loved ones.

    Have a sweet day, Carla. And you know how much I love your Joy List posts. They bring joy to my heart.

  9. Lovely pictures. We don't have many leaves left on the trees, so not much color around to enjoy. Mostly it's been cold, wet, grey, and pretty darn ugly. I've been pretty down due to the election, so my mood is like the weather grey. Nice items on your joy list. I'm going to have to try it myself to help lift my mood. Sipping nice hot coffee, finished an afghan, got another started, laid out pork tenderloin for dinner, our daughter will be home Sat to spend a week over Thanksgiving. Doing that made me smile. Thanks! I'm going to try and make a practice of it. Have a good day.

  10. A great ritual to have, and i enjoyed reading your list.
    The pictures are so pretty.
    You still have some nice color in your neck of the woods.

  11. What a glut of gorgeousness! The last of fall indeed. We had very little leaf color this year but you never know, it may surprise us yet, hahaha! That is, before a stiff December wind blows them all off for good! xoxo
