pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins

so i have had a hankering for pumpkin soup recently. i had been wanting to make for several weeks now, and yesterday i tackled it!

here is the recipe!

i would recommend putting a little more salt in it and maybe less sugar! delish!

enjoy!

oh fall...

i love fall.

the smell.

the crisp air.

the leaves.

pumpkins.

football.

corn mazes.

thanksgiving.

apple cider.

bon fires.

really, it is all just great!

i am so thankful for seasons. the Lord knew that we needed seasons in our lives when He created the world. not only changes in the air and temperature, but seasons our daily lives. i think it reminds us to be thankful and to remember Him as the only thing that stays the same.

i often have to remind myself of that.

pumpkins...pumpkins

we spent today looking for the perfect pumpkins! and trust me, there were plenty to choose from! in fact it was a little overwhelming.

so here is mom with one of them that we choose.
and then my little cousin came along and had a few he liked as well. actually he really just enjoyed kicking them!
and really, is this not the face of an ornery little boy? but who can resist him!
it was a nice day for such an event. i like this time of year.

fall is in the air

so it is starting to cool off a bit out here. in fact, the other day i turned the HEAT on in my car because i was so cold(it was early morning though)!

anyways, this is the treat around my house during this time of year. candy corn+roasted peanuts=tasty treat! trust me, i didn't eat the whole container of them! i have just had a little!

so go out to the store and but the two ingredients and enjoy!

happy labor day weekend!
