Enter Fall…And All Things Pumpkin Spice!

Fall is around the corner!  After a hotter than average summer, I am ready for cooler, brisker temperatures. I think my favorite season, in retrospect, is fall.  New beginning for school year kids.  Time for new wardrobes and school supplies.  Better weather for my hobby of running (cooler weather will be MUCH appreciated after the hotness I’ve been getting used to for the past couple of months).  And most crucially for me… it is the return of the pumpkin spice flavor in all of my favorite treats!

I’m currently enjoying my pumpkin spice coffee. Delicious.  Makes me think of fall leaves, cooler temperatures, wearing my light jacket on a brisk walk.  Recollections of Halloween and dressing the kids up in costumes.  Fall races.  Hay rides.  The cusp of the holidays, with Thanksgiving around the corner.  Time to be with family and friends, and give thanks for another year almost completed.

What do you think of my silly apple smile?  Mama has a similar ear to ear smile as she is reveling in her favorite seasonal pumpkin spice blend coffee.

So please excuse me as I finish up my cup of delicious fall memories.  And if you like pumpkin spice, you are in luck!  The store shelves are getting stocked with this classic fall flavor, and you will be in heaven on your next shopping trip!
