I Smell Fall In The Air

Tuesday I posted a pic or two from our last beach trip of the year. It was fun to see the grandchildren play in the water and sand. Now, with summer drawing to a close, we feel a hint of autumn in the air.

The pumpkin patches are  open, offering the best pumpkins for all your baking and decorating needs.  Social media is flooded with seasonal recipes so how could I resist? You just can't go wrong with pumpkin and cream cheese.
