With the time-change today, it is already dark outside… before 5:00pm!!! Not liking that… but I will enjoy a little more sunrise time in the morning. Yet since it is dark, damp & chilly outside… looks like Beckie has a great solution with warm & cozy soup!!! Thanks for sharing Beckie!

I saw these on the shelf at the grocery store this morning. Say it isn’t so!!!
I mean, I love Christmas as much as the next guy, but c’mon already!

More Autumn Fun at the orchard! I don’t think I’ve ever seen Indian Corn… or I think we now appropriately call it Ornamental Corn… still on the corn stalk?! Plus a lot of apples no longer on the trees!!!

So much fun at the pumpkin patch on a beautiful Autumn day! So many to choose from… colors, shapes, gourds, warts & stems!!! Celebrating NATIONAL PUMPKIN DAY!

Tonight in my pottery class, we kinda celebrated NATIONAL PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE DAY. Well, it wasn’t actually “cheesecake” but… Christine made these amazing gingersnap cookies with a yummy pumpkin fluff “frosting!” Tasted pretty close to cheesecake… so I’ll call it a day! Thanks Christine!!!!

Sure, despite popular opinion… not “every” meal is OREOs.
Sometimes something green sneaks in!
Not my first choice, but everything tastes better in handmade pottery!!!

“Birthday Week” continues with my favorite breakfast treat from my favorite bakery! A wonderfully gooey Fruit Pizza from Jarosch Bakery in Elk Grove Village. Yummy AND a great childhood flashback!!!

So I may be a year older… not so sure about a year wiser? But I still self-admittedly have the palate of a four-year old… and yes, I LOVE Jell-O!!! So I was quite excited when I found these at my favorite place… Lickity Split. Question though… do I eat them now or add them to the Jell-O Collection in my kitchen???

Yep, good thing I rode my bike this morning!!! As it was a fun day full of sweet treats! Including a wonderful cheesecake at lunch with brownies, caramel & hot fudge. Not to be out-done with some late-night ice cream from Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams… with a trio of “unique” Fall flavors!!!

Yummy & fun pizza dinner tonight with friends at Parlor Pizza…
only made better with a great “pizza mural” on the side of the building!!!
