It Is Fall and I Love It!

I see the beauties of Fall
all around. .
I can even see Fall in
the color of the blue sky
I see it in the trees
The flowers
I fields of pumpkins
And all that is being harvested
I feel it in the air and I hear it!
Ya, I hear it.
At Football games!
My favorite sport of all
Bring it on
FootballAnd I love it!
It is my favorite time of year
I even see Fall in my home decor. . . .
I like to decorate for the Fall season
This is just a sampling of the things I have sitting
in little vignettes.


My door will WELCOME you as you
enter my
Fall colored home

Mmmmm! I love this time of year
I wish it could stay this way
But, I have to admit I do like the changing of
The Seasons

My Pickering Family

The Sunday of Labor Day Weekend
is traditionally my
Pickering Family Reunion
We started it over 45 years ago
We are all so close in our relationships
that we wanted something to keep us together and
in each others lives.
If you are wondering how I am a
Pickering

Great -Aunt Colleen

I love my Great-Aunt Colleen
My Mother is her niece!
They were the same age!
She and my Mom were very close
They were best friends.
It was hard for my Aunt Colleen
to lose my Mom.
She and I have been very close.
I guess I just kind of filled in for my Mom.
She is a very creative woman.
And has taught me a lot.
I'm glad I carry some of the same creative genes that she does.
(funny how families are like that)
I am thankful Pickering is part of my heritage!

Family Lions

This little Lion is one of my very FAVORITES!
This Lion is just about as cute as they come in the Lion Kingdom!
She appears to be fearce and scary, but never fear.
She is as gentle as a lamb. . . .
Now you say

Why have you put a Lion at the first of your blog?

Well, I am happy to tell you. . . .The Lion has become my personal mascot.

You see

I really like Lions.
I come from a long line of Lions. .. . .
My Daddy is a Lion
His name is LEO,
now if that isn't a Lion I don't know who is. .
And you won't believe it
but I gave birth to a Lion.
Yes sir ree
His name is Blake LEO
I say that is a Lion also.
And to top it off
my high school mascot is a
LION!
One of my all time favorite Disney movie is
of course,
Lion King!
Yep, I love LIONS
Right now I am trying to find a BIG LION PICTURE
I have in mind what I want.
I just can't find the right one.
It will represent my
Strong, Wise Lions!
