Autumn~some favorite captures

This time of year, just driving down the street makes me smile. It is the most beautiful season and I can't get enough of all the images people are posting. The changing of the seasons is one of my favorite things in life and I know I couldn't live where it's always warm and there are no colorful leaves.

So cute!

#1 Item for house guests!

Can you guess what this is? 
Fresh linens, flowers, reading material, good food? 
Well, you should have all of those . . . but I was reading a favorite blog the other day and it mentioned the #1 item is . . . . a toilet PLUNGER! And I thought to myself, of course! 
There's nothing worse than being at someone's house and seeing that water rise and rise . . . and not have a plunger in the bathroom to quietly take care of things without having to ask.

We have old toilets in our house that can be temperamental, so a few years ago I put a plunger in all 3 bathrooms.  The funny thing is~~the one in our upstairs guest bathroom disappeared!  I can't find it anywhere.  So, with our house guest en route, I'm off to purchase another one.  Hopefully, it won't be needed but just in case . . .
