IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR~

Granny ain't running at top speed this morning little buddy...it seems the common cold has found me...but the good news is I did get a flu shot  last weekend...Travis has had a cold and of course he just had to share it with his granny...but really it's my own fault... I simply can't leave the kid alone...those cheeks of his were just made for kissing... 

Bright and early Travis and I made pumpkin pies...one for his daddy and one for his grampy..our first pumpkin pies of the season...the kitchen smelled heavenly...well, really if I could smell I know the kitchen would have smelled heavenly...freshly ground spices from The Shakers of New Gloucester Maine are  key...with the pies cooling Travis and I delivered eggs to our neighbors  and then proceeded to get our walk in between  rain drops. With the weather dreary I decided we could use a bit of seasonal color to cheer up the homestead...

out came a glow in the dark bottle of sweet smelling Dial soap...

a delightfully fragrant candy corn  air freshener...I admit I have a weakness when it comes to creative packaging...

witchy...the bathroom nightlight...

 friendly "Jacks"...

with friendly witches...

and cats...

hoot owls...oh...and the perfect plates to serve

our pumpkin pie with a topping of french vanilla ice cream...Travis and I...we just love this time of year...how about you?
