For the love of pumpkins

 

I do love pumpkins, they along with scarecrows are some of my favorite fall beauties.

I planted some in the garden, and I did manage to get for me at least a beauty.


 

It is a heirloom variety, the name I cannot recall at the moment. I'm not carving Jack O'Lantern, he is going to be a pie pumpkin, & I'm saving the seeds.

My boys are grown men now, but never cease to come home or be around when it's pumpkin time.

We would make sugar cookies & have cider while we carved, lots of laughs and a good time.

We will be doing that tomorrow, it has been particular a difficult time with my eldest & his work situation this week, and so as always we will be doing pumpkins, it will cheer him. And the rest of us doing something simple, joyful and family.

You can find the recipe from a previous posting, these have powder sugar in them, they are rich and tasty.

Butter & Powder sugar, Sugar Cookies

I love doing pumpkins for puree. I hope your eldest enjoys and relaxes while you are making cookies and getting the pumpkin all ready to make pie.

God bless.
