Fall at Two Happy

Fall here in South Carolina is a joy!  Leaves are just beginning to turn into brilliant colors, the nights are nippy and the days are warm and sunny!

This is a wreath I made last year from a garland of fall leaves, ribbon and berries.

This is on my front porch, a spray of fall flowers in my Mourning Dove planter.

And inside my front door are my favorite fall pictures of my grandson and granddaughter at ages almost 2 and 3 yrs old in the pumpkin patch at a church.  I leave the photos on a wide ribbon up all year long so I can see their wonderful faces.  They are now 14 and 15 1/2. 

 Seth is showing his wonderful enthusiasm as Rose is amazed by so many pumpkins!

I just love these pictures and never get tired of looking at them.


I find beauty in everything and the leaves are just beginning to change here in SC.  Only a few Bradford Pear leaves have fallen so I made roses from them.

This is my Pilgrim cookie jar with an Indian Mother and Papoose beside her.  I put the tablescape on a tray for easy removal at supper time.

 This is my hand embroidered table runner I made several years ago.  I just love the fall decorations so much!

 These are Lavender and white Mums in the same pot that came back from last year.

And these are fabric leaves with real "Live Oak Tree" twigs and Acorns set on them.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today.  Wishing you all warm and beautiful fall days to enjoy while you can before Winter's cold wind begins to blow. 

Come back soon, thank you for visiting and do leave a comment for me :)

Tis the Season of Mums and hot meals!

 I just love fall so much!!  Yesterday, our daughter bought 3 pots of lovely Mums for our yard.  They are so beautiful!

Two lovely pots for the front of the house and........

A Lovely one in Yellow for the back yard by the pond.

I love flowers and Mums are just so happy and bright!

Below is another cool weather easy recipe that is a keeper!  I have made this many times varying the vegetables and with or without meat.  Hope you like this as much as my family does!

As you can see by the yellowed page, I have used this a lot through the past 20 yrs. or so.  The original recipe came in a little booklet included in the pages of a magazine as a Bisquick ad.
It says Impossible Green Bean Pie but I have rarely used Green Beans even though it is good with them!
1. Frozen green beans/spinach/mixed vegetables (your choice) thawed and brought to boil, then drained well.
2. 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
3. 1 1/2 C. of milk
4. 3/4 cup Bisquick or Jiffy mix
5. 3 eggs
6. 1 tsp. salt (or less to taste)
7. 1/4 tsp pepper
Optional:  1 can of mushroom stems and pieces or sometimes I brown Hamburger meat and add that.  1/2 C onions.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees.  Grease a 10" pie plate.  Cook green bean (thawed) for 5 minutes uncovered.  Drain.  Mix beans (or any of the above options) mushrooms, onion, and cheese in plate.  Beat remaining ingredients until smooth.  (1 minute with hand mixer or 15 seconds in blender).  Pour into plate. Give a little stir with a fork to blend and bake until a knife inserted between center and edge comes out clean.  30-40 minutes.  Let cool 5 minutes and serve!  Delicious!  A whole meal in a pie plate!  yields 6-8 servings.  Slice as pie.
  Let me know how you like this one.  It is quick and once you get used to making it with your own favorite ingredients, you will be making it all the time.
  I use frozen mixed vegetables most often: corn/carrot mix.

FRIDAY'S VISITOR

I WAS SNAPPING FLOWERS AS FAST AS I COULD and when I went around the side of the house, here was my morning visitor!  He was at least 9 inches long, very black and not too camera shy!  So I called Hubby to get a shot with his camera, also.  We never know what will be our daily visitors!

But I still went on to photo Friday's Flowers:  Mums, Petunias, Roses, Shamrocks, Crown of Thorns.

The Warmth of Fall.........

Even when it is overcast the colors of fall brighten our days!  The picture of the house was taken a week ago when it seemed all it did was rain or be cloudy, but it didn't matter because the bright colors made the atmosphere warm and cheery.  Isabella the cat loves the coolness and wants to sit on Bill's lap.  She follows him from room to room and purrs.  You can hear her little motor running from anywhere in the house!  Sweet William surprised me with the 2 pots of Mums he bought on a Lowe's trip.  He goes there for all his wood he uses to craft the items we make.  He does not feel well enough to drive all the time and I worry when he goes alone but I do not want him to lose all his independence.  We always joke that we have to go to Lowe's for our Wood "fix" as we love the smell of the pine, aspen and other woods.  We are looking forward to camping this weekend and are taking Isabella with us.  This will be her first time out so we shall see how she fairs.  Well, I hope -ha!  It seems odd to just chill out after months of scurrying to get ready for the craft show - ha!  I am glad that we only do the one a year.
