No Place Like HOME


As you know, we have had two trips this past week (one to Dillard, Georgia and one to Jacksonville, FL). We got home yesterday to find some absolutely gorgeous Fall colors RIGHT here in Fairfield Glade. So I wanted to share them with you today. These beauties don't need any explanation ---so here they are!!!!

















As you can see, we have it all here in Tennessee (beautiful blue skies, pretty Autumn colors, beautiful lakes)----and our own little home (where I can sleep much better in my own bed).

Hugs,

  1. I bet Tennessee is beautiful this time of year. I was looking on some photo sites last week and it seems Tennessee is the place you want to be to see beautiful fall colors.

  37. So glad to hear your back home, safe and sound.
    It's gotten cold these past few nights, and tonight a freeze warning out, especially for you, further on the Plateau.
    The trees are giving us a show already, I think it will be a good year for the fall colors.
    Light the fire, and a nice pot of tea !
    Hugs,

  43. Glad you 2 are home safe. Great pics as usual. No place can match Tn. I love it.

  44. True to the words, there is no place like home. And there is no bed like your own bed.

    How was your trip Betsy? How was the memorial ceremony, I hope you were okay.

  45. Looking at theses pictures makes me feel like taking a vacation to somewhere... like TN! Hope you have enough room ;)

  46. Wow, clear blue skies and gorgeous colors. What else would anyone need?

    My internet problem is with the IP addresses, we have one for each computer. For some reason only one of them will work at a time so we both can't be online at the same time (we are internet junkies). We're getting a new modem tomorrow which should solve the problem, yeah!

    Hugs,
    Judy

  51. What AMAZING views ... so colorful and gorgeous! You ARE surrounded by beauty where you live. I've finally opened my 'reader' this morning and am trying to catch up a bit after falling behind. Just HAD to stop and comment on THIS post! Thanks for your visits to Small Reflections. Methinks we must be on the same wave-length given the names of our blogs. I'm glad you enjoy my mosaics ;-)
    Hugs and blessings,
