Fall Eye Candy

 Next to Summer,  I have to say that Fall is also one of my favorite times of the year.  So, I thought I would share some of our "Fall-ish" eye candy with you today. . .

The other morning, I went outside to get something out of my car.  I noticed their were a few leaves in my front yard that were so pretty with all the colors that remind me of Fall. I picked them up and took them inside on my desk and looked at them for a few minutes. The reason why?  Several years ago there use to be this elderly woman that would take morning walks with her caretaker. This sweet woman, would stop and examine several of the leaves that had fallen off my tree in the front yard. After looking the leaves over carefully, she would choose three or four and then put them oh so gently in the bag that her caretaker was carrying. She's been gone for several years, but each and every Fall when the leaves turn all the beautiful colors, I am reminded of this sweet woman. Taking the time to notice what nature gives away so freely is an important thing to acknowledge in life. Especially since we live in this crazy, busy world of ours. My hopes are that each of you will find those brief "moments" in life to enjoy the little things such as the beautiful Fall colors of the leaves! Take care. . .

So Long Summer. . .

 As I sit in front of my computer writing this post, I've realized it most likely will be the last post from Summer.  I love when Fall arrives, and we all settle in a bit more and become a bit more of a homebody! But that "Gypsy Soul" in me has come to realize that those carefree days of Summer, flip flops, and all the Summer sunsets I watch in the evenings, are soon going to be a thing of the past!  I will truly miss that. Today, I thought I would post some of my favorite things . . .

When I look at the pictures above, I realize what a small selection these are when you think about all the great stuff and treasures  here at Country Roads in our 10,000 square foot store. I'm always reminded when I do a blog post, how very blessed I am to be surrounded by so many wonderful things! The heat wave seems to be fizzling out, so I hope you have a chance to stop by Country Roads for a visit this week-end. 

Take care. . .

Waitng For Fall

I don't think I'm alone when I say that as much as I love Summer, there is always something special about Fall's arrival. Our days become shorter, and we tend to settle in more at home than we do during the crazy Summer time. My Country Roads family is already decorating for the Fall season.  And as always, here are just a few pictures of random things that caught my eye!

As most of you know, we are here at Country Roads seven days a week, and would love to have you stop by and join us for a little shopping! Take care . . .
