Note - we are in the middle of NO WHERE (which is about a 2 hour drive away from Chicago). Yet - there is still an ATM. Mind you it's in a trailor....

Speaking of pumpkins.... I just love baking with pumpkins and squash....
LOVE fall.
It has to be my favorite season....
JUST HAS TO BE.

All the colors, all the scents all the tastes. Hands down Fall wins!!!
