cottage and vine: Veteran's Day & Reminders

Veteran's Day & Reminders

This image really speaks to me - soldiers returning home and the women awaiting their arrival. Today is Veteran's Day and it reminds me of all the men and women who have sacrificed their time, bodies, and lives for our country. I have many family members who have served. To all veterans, thank you!

This is a picture of my next door neighbor's 100 year old maple trees. They have been stunning this year. This has been one of the most beautiful falls I can remember. Now for the raking...

I cannot believe it is that time again. Please stop by Monday for the Room By Room party focusing on dining rooms. I hope to see you there.

And last, but now least don't forget to enter the giveaway that ends Monday.

Have a great weekend!

That dining room is gorgeous! The table cloth made me smile... so doable.

I'll be back on Monday... though just to look!

Hope you have a great weekend!

Great photos and hats off to all our service people.
Of course I am a tad fond of a colorful maple :)
