Fall is here! Scary movies, cooler weather, and pumpkin spice lattes are upon us.

Fall is my favorite season, mostly due to the average temperature. It isn’t hot anymore like in the summer, and it isn’t super cold yet like it is in the winter. I feel most comfortable in the cooler than hot atmosphere. Also, Halloween gives me an excuse to eat my favorite candy without having to feel bad about it, lol.

What is your favorite season? ~ T

We are right around the corner from Halloween, and what better way to get into the spooky season spirit than to talk about Pumpkins! And even better… on National Pumpkin Day!

You can use pumpkins for quite a few things. You can use them to cook delicious foods, use them as decorations, or you can carve them into jack-o-lanterns.

I know many people enjoy pumpkin pie, but I personally don’t. I’m more of an apple pie fan. However, I do enjoy eating some pumpkin bread and pumpkin spice cookies!

Jack-o-lanterns are also very cool! When carved into one and with a light put inside it, they look super spooky!

Using pumpkins as decorations is also very neat. In my home, we have several pumpkins spread throughout the space. It gets us into the holiday spirit a bit and it adds more color variety since we don’t have many orange things in here.

What is your favorite thing to use pumpkins for?
