Smiling Punkins
This smiling pumpkin scarecrow greeted me recently in a coffee shop. Just look at that smile! I dare you to really take a good look at it and keep from smiling back! There's something so inviting and friendly about pumpkins. Maybe it's because they are such a cheerful color and they are such fun to carve smiles into! Pumpkin season is also a season for kids! I've been hearing reports from friends who are taking their children to pumpkin patches and from others who are busy baking pumpkin bread. Others are dreaming of pumpkin pies and are eagerly awaiting Thanksgiving! Pumpkin orange surely does seem to be the color of the season! Speaking of pumpkins, are there some little punkins in your life who might enjoy some pumpkin activities? Becky, who blogs at This Reading Mama is sharing a packet of pumpkin themed printables. They are free and will keep youngsters you may know busy for hours. I thought I'd pass along the word. Click PUMPKIN here.

I love it! This is such a lovely time of year with fall color, foods, pumpkins, scarecrows and all manner of lovelies. I really am not into the black, the spiders and the witches which seem to abound. I love THE NATURAL BEAUTY part of fall.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - I smiled!
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling over here...
ReplyDeleteI am dreaming of pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread. Must get my pumpkin outdoor decoration out in the yard too. Thanks for the inspiration with a smile.
ReplyDeleteIt did indeed make me smile! I have been very much enjoying pumpkin flavor in everything from my tea (of course) to coffee creamer and doughnuts. And I saw on a friend's FB post that there are even pumpkin-flavored Hershey's Kisses, which I will be purchasing on my next trip to the grocery store!
ReplyDeleteHi La Tea Dah.Everything's coming up pumpkins here, too, and it's wonderful. Love your pumpkin scarecrow photo! And yes, it DID make me smile. Susan
ReplyDeleteSmiles smiles smiles! I love Halloween things that smile, not the dark side stuff.

I've been using pumpkin in a lot of recipes lately and will post some of them soon. Hope all is well with you. Have a wonderful week. Tammy
