Three Word Thursday . . .

I. Heart. Pumpkins.

Yep, it's that time of year! Our front porch is bedecked with all the fall goodies, from pumpkins and gourds to mums and ornamental cabbages. Leaves are falling faster than we can rake them, but we don't mind because the sound of them crunching underfoot can only mean one thing: Autumn has arrived! Take a look at some of the other pumpkins around our place this year.

This little fellow is definitely resembling a carved pumpkin with gaping holes in his mouth where teeth used to be. I give the other top tooth a week before it's gone and we have a certified lisper in the house.

These cuties remind me of jack-o-lanterns all aglow from the fire light. The weather has finally cooled considerably, making our firepit out back an ideal spot for making s'mores, telling ghost stories and getting warm.

And then there's this beauty. I can hardly talk about it without running to the kitchen to grab a few. I've eaten enough to guarantee three things: a new cavity, a sick stomach and no chance of losing lingering baby poundage. But I don't care, because they only come around once a year and are Oh. So. Yummy.

Happy Fall to you all! We'll be in Philadelphia tomorrow meeting up with our California Grandies. Come back around on Monday to check out some of this year's Halloween decor.
