Dirt Road Adventures – Fall Foliage and more

It’s Fall Foliage time here at The Ponds Farmhouse. Everywhere you look, the colors are amazing, and I thought I’d share a few images for you to enjoy.

It’s been a busy week as we wrapped up our Fall posts and begin to get serious about the upcoming Christmas Holiday Season.

Although I’ve shared a mix of both Fall and Christmas this past week, next week is all about preparing for Christmas.

Starting November 1st, I’m joining 9 of my favorite bloggers to share Christmas inspiration for the 10 Days of Christmas!

Be sure to stay tuned for decorating, DIY, Crafts, Recipes, and more Christmas Inspiration.

This is a look back at all my adventures this past week.

Fall Foliage – The Ponds Farmhouse

This is a view of our gravel drive between two pastures. We live at the end of the mile-long Dirt Road, and the trees are amazing this time of year.

Here you can see the fall foliage surrounding the outdoor kitchen, my workshop, the greenhouse, and a tiny bit of the farmhouse.

Although the pool is now closed for the year, the view is still lovely.

A peek of the house through the foliage.

In Case You Missed It

The week began with a Bacon & Egg Breakfast Muffin Recipe and a Carmel Apple Cider Martini Cocktail Recipe. Both are perfect for celebrating the upcoming Thanksgiving Holidays.

In preparation for the fast-approaching Christmas Decorating Season, these DIY natural greenery ornaments and package toppers are easy and inexpensive to make.

There are so many creative ideas, and I’m always asking myself, “Why didn’t I think of that”? LOL
