Pumpkins.
They just make me happy. I love the color of them, the variety, their shapes, carving them, the smell of them... one of my favorite Bath & Body scents is "Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin" and now they have a new one that is equally as yummy, "Creamy Pumpkin."
Beautiful Japanese Maple Tree in Tokyo.
Took this picture when we were there in December of 2009.
Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin Bread
Honey Wheat Pumpkin Muffins with raisins
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Pumpkin Cake with Caramel Pecan Cream Cheese Frosting

The unmatched beauty of the changing Aspen trees in Colorado.

ReplyDeleteCanning and preserving, the smell of apple butter cooking in my crockpot, the golden leaves on my walks, snow on the mountain tops, hot mulled cider, Indian Summer--crisp outside with bright blue skies and golden trees in the morning and then nice and warm sunny afternoons, football and volleyball games, nutbreads and muffins, a new, fresh school year! I just love fall!
