Today's Saturday Six comes to you with the following theme: things that make me drool. I was going to do my best to leave food off this list entirely, as basically all food causes drooling. But then I got to item #2 and that was over. Sorry! But food or no food...these are some really pretty things I've encountered on Pinterest this week that have left me drooling.
One.
First up, because I'm still searching for ideas we can use in a future backyard layout, I now get tons of suggestions for such things. This week this outdoor fireplace surfaced, and I about fell over in my chair. This is absolutely stunning. This is way more than we would be able to afford, but what I really like about it is that it's freestanding and feels to me like it could be achievable in any yard. I have seen a lot of outdoor fireplaces that are built into porches, and that really is way out of our league. This one is super fancy, but it feels like something that could be more attainable for the standard home than the built-in versions. So pretty.
Two.
Okay, so this one IS food, but it's mostly healthy food! Does that count? It's a beautiful fall charcuterie board that includes healthy foods. I don't know that I have ever before seen Brussels Sprouts on a board, but I'm here for it! So pretty, so fall, and so delish!
Three.
I realize and appreciate that most people are not as over-the-top ridiculous about Christmas as I tend to be. I'm okay with that! So this might make you nervous instead of ready to drool, but I think it's a very pretty Christmas room. It is a LOT of Christmas in one space, but it makes me excited to think about decorating our house for Christmas this year. I haven't yet worked out where I'm putting my trees (specifically) but I am super excited to decorate them! (Also haven't thought through decorating with a canine assistant...)
Four.
I'm not sure which I love more: the idea of an outdoor fall table for two or the menu she suggests! Both are cozy and beautiful! We no longer have an outdoor porch table for eating, but we could set up our camping table, I suppose! And Lexi loves porch-sitting. She would probably happily sit beside us. (And whine in hopes of scraps.)
Five.
Also along the fall theme...train rides to see fall foliage! This sounds SO fun to me! (I balk at flying, but I do like riding trains. Mostly. Unless I've recently watched Dateline.) I read through the list and saw there is one in Ohio, which is not that far from us! Can you just imagine seeing the fall colors from the seats with the domed windows? SWOON!!!!
Six.
And finally...it's been a while since I nodded to my adoration of A-frame houses. But this sweet little thing is adorable to me. Definitely drool-worthy. Too bad it's a very old listing, right?

Yes to all of these!
I’ve been on the Alaska Railroad Denali train from Anchorage to Denali. Back in 1997, my brother was working for A group of hotels/resorts just outside of Denali national Park. So I flew to Anchorage and took the train to Denali, and the train depot was literally 100 yards from his office. Our brother from Utah arrived the same day I did, and we spent a week with him hiking and camping. Then I spent four more weeks there cleaning hotel rooms five days a week. We had it worked out so my brother and I had the same weekends and I went on hikes, and we went camping, rafting, and we went to his friends’ cabin in the woods for a weekend. We had to hike 8 miles to get there. It was an awesome experience.
