Pumpkin Pie - Me Oh My!

Country Living

Mmmm....can you SMELL this?

Can you almost TASTE it?

Last spring I planted 4 hills of regular pumpkins anticipating the wonderful aroma of pumpkin pie

baking in my oven

this fall.

Unfortunately the bugs took over before I realized what

was happening and the plants died.

Even my mini orange and white pumpkin plants died.

Then one day in late summer I noticed that about

5 mini pumpkin plants were starting to grow on

their own where we had tilled

the ground.

I am so happy!

If all goes well...by the time we get our first frost

these little sweeties should be ready to start

decorating for Thanksgiving.

Oh ya.

But as far as baking pumpkin pie and

freezing some pumpkin puree goes

I'll have to resort to the pumpkin patch.

That's ok though as it's always a good

place for a photo shoot.

So while I wait to buy my pumpkins

I thought these photo's might get

me in the mood for baking.

Oh My.

One more pumpkin pie for good measure.

Well I hope these pictures have put you in a baking mood. If not then you have more self control than I do!

Enjoy your day.
