Autumn Manifesto

Inspired by both last day of may and in other words..., I present my:

Autumn Manifesto


1. On chilly days, I will remember to drink tea.



2. I will invite people into my home to “Share the Harvest” -- my theme this season.



3. I will put thought into our meals to make them both tasty and comforting.



4. I will place pumpkins and fall decorations throughout the house – and keep tweaking it all season to keep it fun.




5. I will use pumpkin and apples freely in my cooking and baking.

Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies

 
6. I will light my candles and little lamps as dusk falls to make my home cozy feeling.



7. I will visit Farmers' Markets more frequently.



8. I will pay more attention to the journaling of my life (this blog).



9. I will use my Silhouette Machine.



10. I will let my gym see my face more often.



11. I will complete my 10-day Give (which I forgot about the first time around).



12. I will go outside every day just to breathe.



13. I will buy some tights. And look for a new coat.


14. I will use my stationery.


15. I will trust God and my husband as I discover grace.

  6. That's my girl! The Queen of the Autumn breeze. To all her readers: Dorothy is exceptional in the home. She always creates a warm, festive, and welcoming home. I am blessed to be her husband I can tell God is merciful, for He let me be married to her. My home is a castle of grace, loveliness, and a feminine touch. If you like her blog, you would love her. Her blog pales in beauty to her actual loveliness.

  13. Thank you for sharing your manifesto. I think I need to write one of my own, and will probably use a couple of your items! I do love the fall season.
