We live in Texas. It’s HOT in Texas!! There is no such thing as 4 seasons. We have 2 seasons: HOT and NOT SO HOT. And this year, we added a 3rd season (mid-August through mid-September)…SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION! Summer of 2010 will go down in my family as the Summer-That-Wouldn’t-End!! Just early last week, we had temps in the upper 90s! Ca-Razy!!
Finally, this week, we had a taste of Fall. Our highs have only been in the 80s. Fall decorations are popping up everywhere in our “Mayberry”. Gorgeous!!
Time to de…co…rate and bake some delicious Fall-like desserts!!
One of our favorite recipes to enjoy this time of year is a recipe from my friend Kim in South Carolina. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Hi Lucy, thanks for sharing this pumpkin cake recipe, I will try it! I wish I could say the same thing here about the weather..in the Midlands in England, it has been cold and wet. Still this afternoon, the sun came out! Have a blessed end of week.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds wonderful! And any frosting that contains cream cheese is a winner in my book! :)
