I can't believe it is Pumpkin time already, but the I feel it in the weather and now I see at all my favorite coffee spots. It is a sign of the season and marker of time. Last year at this time I was living in Florida and did not feel the season with the weather, but I still enjoyed my pumpking spice. I found this fantastic decaf coffee with pumpkin spice flavor from Fresh Market, it is one of the few finds from last year. Lukckily my sister is visiting next week and will bring me some. When I called to ask her she could not beleive it was pumpkin time so soon. She realized how fast the Summer went and I recalled all our time together last year, making pumpkin muffins and meeting at Dunkin Donuts for coffee. Most of the time I am so busy I don't have time to miss her or our time living as neighbors. When I smell the pumpkin spice in the air I recalled our time and it did bring tears to my eyes. At least we have skype.
Now it is time for me to start a new year of pumpkin memories. I will have to get my kids to help me make the pumpkin muffins, filled with whole wheat flour and pumpkin for extra vitamins and fiber it is a great breakfast, even with a smal amount of chocolate mixed in. This year maybe I will try some pumpkin soup. Next week we will go pick out pumpkins with the granparents and then carve it and make fresh roasted pumpkin seeds. Can't get much better than that.
