October

OK, so it's October now and the weather has been absolutely gorgeous with temps in the mid-eighties.  Although, we are getting some cooler temps over this weekend.  For now I'm all too happy to have this type of fall weather that we've been having!

Hopes of it staying around a while are plenty.  The evenings are getting a bit chilly though, so I'm sporting extra layers if outside and for when I find I'm freezing in places with the AC still cranking out cool air!...even my own home, the Hubby loves cool!  It's all good for now, I really can't complain or shouldn't.  

Time for pumpkin and pumpkin-spice this and that.  I thought I didn't like pumpkin, but I realize over the years the only pumpkin I ever really had was pumpkin pie.  There is so much more to enjoy with that big ole round, orange, bumpy, squash like thing-of-a-pumpkin.

And, although orange just may not be one of my favorite colors, it has it's place, and certainly now that it's Fall, it's everywhere.  I've been planning on a bit of Fall decorating, and I've had to show restraint when I see cutesy little Pumpkin and Fall items everywhere too.  



I had a fit over this cute little pumpkin when I saw it sitting atop a bottle of Pumpkin Juice.  It's just too cute! 



My youngest daughter brought this back as a gift to give to her older sister, from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando.  If you're a Harry Potter fan, as both of my girls are, you know all about it.

Anyway, there I was telling her how much I loved that cute little pumpkin lid, and she pulls it off the top.  My eyes wide with more excitement over it and I did say something like "oh how cute, can I have the little pumpkin top?"

Well, I was told swiftly that I should ask her sister, after I give it to her.  Then she said "I'm going to ask her if the top was on it when you gave it to her!"  Uh...(Gasp!)  I would never!  Or would I?   Naaa!  Maybe?  Uh uh!




Well I asked! ...and there it is!  Sittin' on one of the shelves of my Baker's Rack.  No, I really did ask.  She really gave it to me.  She did!  Promise!  Pinkie promise even!  :)    


It will fit in nicely with a few other things I plan to use for my Fall display.
I do often say..."It's the little things!"  


Happy October!

More to come real soon...
