Pumpkins

This was on the back of October's Cook's Illustrated Magazine. I'm so thankful Mother Mary and Father Glenn got us that as a gift. Lots of different kinds of pumpkins with different names. I love them all. I enjoy this time of year more with each passing year. Mid September I begin to long for the smell, look, and feel of fall. I've been enjoying hearing of the fall traditions my friends have. From pumpkin patches to pumpkin bread. Jim and I are developing our own. We have lots of birthdays we celebrate this time of year - including mine. I enjoy birthday celebrations and make them last all month if possible. I decorate our house. I find it easy to do with fall - just get lots of fun pumpkins like those below!
