Beautiful Free Fall Printable


Fall is officially here!!! Woot-Woot! This is the time of the year where everything seems to get a little cray-cray. Don’t you agree? It all starts with back to school, then before we know it — it’s time for trick or treating! November brings Thanksgiving, and did I mention that we’re only a couple months out from Christmas?? What the wha? As we get busier and busier, it’s important that we take time to stop and smell the roses watch the leaves turn!

Fall Printable

 

Be sure to take a few minutes out of your day to walk in the cooler temps that fall brings our way, jump into a big pile of leaves with your kiddos or snap a picture of the fall foliage that you can display in your home.

Fall is my absolute favorite season! I used to live in Upstate NY and the fall foliage was magnificent. The colors just made my heart go pitter-patter. I remember apple picking with my youth group, raking leaves as a family and picnics at Mossy Bank Park. Those fond memories are engrained in me, bringing a ridiculous love for the season. I think that’s why I want to take time every year to ‘watch the leaves turn.” Now that I’m older, I enjoy taking drives into the country to see the foliage and to visit the local wineries with the hubby. I schedule those moments to enjoy the season. What do you do?

Here’s a sweet printable to remind you to enjoy the season!
Even if you don’t need the reminders, it’s a super cute fall printable.
Hang it on your fridge or in your office/cubicle! {wink}

    I will be following you guys on Pinterest. My Bloglovin’ roll keeps knocking me out of my roll when your blog comes up and I have to start over from square one to read the rest of the blogs I follow. Sorry, you and Funky Junk… Both did that to me. See you in Pinterest land!

      Hi Lori! We, along with many other bloggers, recently discovered that Bloglovin’ has set up their site in such a way that while it looks like you are reading our latest post on our actual blog, it is in fact keeping readers on Bloglovin’ instead of sending them directly our way. So, as a result, all of the bloggers on Bloglovin’ are receiving none of the pageviews. We work so hard to provide what we believe is quality content and we simply want to know that, in return, our readers are actually coming to At the Picket Fence vs. staying on Bloglovin’. I guess we look at it similarly to any other social media outlet (like Pinterest) where if someone sees something they like, they have to click on the link to come over to our site to access the actual project or recipe. We definitely understand that this can be frustrating but we hope you will continue to pay us a visit here at the blog when you can. 🙂 Blessings,
      Vanessa and Heather

Yesterday on the way home from school I had the ra Yesterday on the way home from school I had the radio tuned to my daughter's favorite station and a song that was playing had a line in it that really stood out to me. It made reference to a 'season of the sticks' which I think its safe to say must mean winter. I thought that was such an accurate, albeiet kind of depressing, picture of this time of the year.

While we definitely have more than our fair share of evergreen trees here in Oregon, we also have plenty of trees and bushes that are reduced to sticks during the cold months. But, this morning as I looked out my kitchen window, greedily sipping from my mug of coffee, I marveled at the beauty of the winter sunrise. The sky was all pinks and oranges with frost on the rooftops and a little bit of fog. And, I realized that part of why it was so amazing is because I could see it more clearly through the sticks. The bare branches allowed me a view that I wouldn't be able to see if those same branches were covered in leaves. Being stripped down to almost nothing revealed something magnificent.

We have seasons of the sticks in our lives too, don't we? Times when we feel as though we've been stripped bare and left exposed. It's easy to think that this is a place where all is ugly and dark. And yet, just like the winter sunrise was more visible because of the bare branches, the vulnerability we feel in the winter season of our souls allows us to get a glimpse of beauty that we wouldn't see otherwise. In the lush, warm seasons it's so easy to become comfortable. But in the bare, cold seasons we recognize just how much we need to rely on the One who placed the stars in the heavens and is sovereign over all.

If you feel like your soul has been stripped bare and you've been left exposed and vulnerable, may I encourage you today to ask the Lord to help you to see the beauty in this 'season of the sticks'.

“Answer me quickly, O Lord! My spirit fails! Hide not your face from me, lest I be like those who go down to the pit. Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul." Psalm 143:7
I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7

The sun decided to make another appearance today! The sun decided to make another appearance today! It’s been such a lovely Sunday. Chocolate croissants for breakfast followed by church then naps/football/reading/etc and soon we’ll be heading out to dinner with friends. These are my favorite kind of weekends. Hope yours has been lovely too! 🌿

And yes, there are still twinkle lights on my mantle because those help when the sunshine goes away again. ✨
Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend!

It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)
