Well, i dont know about anyone else, but this is my favorite time of year. I still get excited when we get that first nip of cool air. Of course after having only 2 seasons in Louisiana it doesnt take much for me to get excited. This weekend we will be decorating the house and going to buy some of those gigantic pumpkins i've been seeing all over the place. Tomorrow , i'm going to try this dutch oven Pumpkin recipe. It looks pretty good and i love anything pumpkin anyway. I'll let everyone know how it comes out.
