  11. No Fall without pumpkins! Wish you could go down the street, around the corner and get a glimpse of these orange beauties. To be honest, I do not decorate those outside my house but I'm planning to make some soup, or better, try to make some soup. Perhaps this year.
    Much love for the rest of the week, sweet friend xoxoxo

  16. And late at night, the Great Pumpkin descended from the sky...

    Really love the pumpkin field shot--we used to grow little eating pumpkins--better than squash when baked.
