"He appointed the moon for seasons... O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom you have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions." Psalm 104:19 and 24
Yesterday my husband and I took a drive through our local mountains and got the most delicious whiff of burning wood from someone's fireplace knowing it would be ushering in falling leaves and sweater weather. So let's welcome those cozy afternoons and brisk evening, sink into a comfy chair and read a good book, bake something yummy to take to a neighbor or make a pot of coffee and invite a friend over!
Here is one of my favorite fall recipes that my sister Lorna gave me:
Banana Crumb Cake
Cake:
1 yellow cake mix 1/3 c. sugar
2-3 ripe bananas 1/4 c. oil
2 eggs 1 c. water
Topping
1 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. melted butter
Combine all the cake ingredients; mix for 2 minutes. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Blend flour, sugar and butter into a crumbly mixture and top the cake with it. Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes. Enjoy!
Lastly... leave a comment and be entered into a drawing
for my favorite "gather" script wall hanging from
JoAnna Gaines from her Magnolia Farms selection.
Perfect for a little fall decorating!
The winner will be announced Sunday October 9th!

Eagerly waiting for Sept. 22nd so I can finally justify decorating for fall!! :)
The banana crumb cake sounds delicious! I'm working on figuring out how to alter recipes for high altitude. As soon as I do, I'll try this one!
Oh Leah, that will be nice because I will see your fall decorating when i come up for The Speckled Hen!

Fall here is so different than home, the leaves on the trees are just starting to change and it's beautiful! All of the fall colors make it really feel like fall! :) looking forward to baking all things pumpkin!

Fall is my favorite time of the year. The change to sweaters, soups and falling leaves is always a welcome!
I am so loving this cooler weather here in Temecula. I love fall; orange colors, soups, fireplaces,sweaters (well, sometimes sweaters) and the warmth of friends and family. May our hearts be filled with Thanksgiving and our tummies filled with this wonderful recipe, Linda. Thanks for posting the recipe!!
Just returned from the Georgia Harvest Crusade yesterday and brought back wonderful memories and hope of the cooler weather to come, as some of the leaves were beginning to turn. To everything there is a season with beauty to behold. The cake recipe sounds like a must try! Blessings, sister. Pat
Hi Pat, Nice to hear from you! Do you have a favorite fall recipe?
Pam, I agree it's sweater weather! But we'd better put one on early in the morning or late at night! Do you have a favorite fall recipe I can post?
Hi Katie B., Happy fall!! Do you have a favorite fall bread or cookie I can post?
Linda, this very old recipe is SO good! Hope someone can try it.

Let stand 20 min.
Add 1 c. brown sugar, 1 c. white sugar, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 c. flour, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. baking soda and 1 tsp cinnamon. Use a mixer.

It looks like German Chocolate Cake, but it's Oatmeal! Very moist, very good!
Enjoy!
Oh Pat, Thank you for the recipe, it looks delicious!
I love fall because we purposefully slow down. People are more aware of traditions, family and friends. Harvest time is a reminder of God's amazing grace and blessings.
Lynn! So good to hear from you in this blog!
I love fall because as an early riser, I love seeing the sun come up because it happens so much later and thus gives me more quiet time before the world awakes.
Fall is my favorite season. I love the smells,sights and even the sounds -the crunching of dried leaves, the smell of cinnamon pine cones in the grocery store and bright orange pumpkins on doorsteps
Dear Lynn, So nice to hear from you, thank you for reminding us to remember God's amazing grace and blessings!!
Hi Catherine! Thank you for you reminding us to even "Listen" to the sounds of fall! I've often thanked the Lord for His goodness, He didn't have to make the beautiful colors that we enjoy or the amazing smells like that of flowers and forest BUT sounds too! We are going to Ohio soon and as enjoy the fall colors I am going to be very mindful of the "sounds" too!
Oh have lots if fun in Ohio. Pick some fall leaves 😊
