Fall is in the air and, yet, it technically still is summer!  I enjoy this in-between time here in western New York.  Some days it truly is summer, and in between those days autumn has begun to show its face.  The sun is setting earlier and earlier. That is my “not favorite” part!  I love sunshine.  The more the better!  No complaining, though.  I will just revel in every bit of sunshine I can get.

In the meantime, recipes are changing.  Sweet breads and homemade pies are being made and fall décor ideas are plentiful. You will see the change over in the blog posts that are shared with us at our party this week!

And, speaking of fall recipes, do you ever send home-baked cookies to school or the office with your family?  Then again, fall can be super busy.  I have to admit,  these bake shop  cookies are so yummy they are one of my “go to’s” when I don’t have time to bake them from scratch.

 

Fun quiet-time activity for home or as you travel for kids and adults! 

Now, here are some really great posts that were shared with us LAST week!  Enjoy them and then we will go on to the new party right here, right now.

Is your little one begging for a puppy but it is just not the right time?

Maybe this little sleeping puppy toy will help.  

Welcome to Happiness is Homemade 493- Linda here from A Labour of Life and this is week 3 of my hosting the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party for August. We are almost at the end of the month means , MAN this summer is flying by so fast!

Summer is winding down, I mean hello BTS everything am I right? It’s crazy September use to signal the end of the season but the last several years it has been a bit on the drier side and very warm, so beautiful as we begin to welcome fall.  What’s your September weather like where you are?

It’s time to get to this week’s party – simply scroll down to see all the posts that have been linked up by our participating bloggers!

Happiness is Homemade 493 Features

Fall Tablescape

It will surprise none of you that have been linking up for a while that my first feature is a beautiful Fall Tablescape. Master Pieces of My Life has shared a lovely start of Fall table featuring cooper and wheat. And the fact the place cards indicated Seb (my grandson didn’t influence me at all).

Decorating with Sunflowers

Next up sticking to a pretty table theme is several wonderful tips and ideas for fall and late summer decorating. The Painted Apron is sharing a beautiful centerpiece of sunflowers.

Air fryer Meatloaf

Big fan of meatloaf and as soon as I saw an air fryer option from Scratch Foods I had to check it out. With Fall fast approaching it’s time to turn our heads to quick and easy fall comfort food recipes.

Easy Lemon Cucumber Pickles

The Copper Table is sharing a unique new pickle. These are not your usual pickles! I wanted to treat these a little differently than an ordinary cucumber, so I decided to add a touch of lemon juice to the brine. It was only fitting, being that the cucumbers look like lemons.

Fresh Blueberry Muffins

And from one of our own, Ducks ‘n a Row, these tasty Blueberry Muffins. Plus she shares a cool tip on how to stop the color bleed in her post.
