Hello, sweet friend…
Happy October!
This past week…
we took our annual visit to a local pumpkin patch…
There is nothing like spending time outdoors…
surrounded by beautiful Mother Nature…
walking…searching…
for the perfect pumpkin…
or two…
the whole experience was quite relaxing…
and fun…
Btw…any chance you’ll be visiting a local pumpkin patch this year?

WHAT’S COOKING?
What better way to begin October than with a flavorful…well spiced…super moist pumpkin bread loaf…
