It's Pumpkin Time in the City

I'm wildly happy with the autumn and with all things pumpkin. We had a perfect autumn day today and wearing closed shoes and a jacket felt just fine. With my new found love of Pinterest and my abiding love of pumpkin I am happy to share one of the great pumpkin recipes I found and pinned to Pinterest. It's from one of my favorite blogs, Cheeky Kitchen. The link and the recipe are just a click away.

I wish I could bottle the weather and this ice cream and ship it off to all of you. But alas, weather and ice cream are ephemeral and instead, can only send hugs and happy wishes.

And the Winner Is...

Debra!

It's October 1 and the winner has been selected for the latest Buttercup giveaway, "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like..." Debra has been a blog buddy almost from the very beginning of Buttercupland and I always enjoy a visit to her blog, "And It Came to Pass." I come away with lots to think about it and feel that I have had a good conversation with a friend. 

Pumpkin Patch, the North Shore of Long Island

My summer shoes are put away and I am now officially beginning my Tribute to Autumn. I love the fall, pumpkins, leaves in gold and red and apple goodies. One of my favorite memories was a trip to a pumpkin patch and corn maze two autumns ago. I don't have plans this year, but just looking at the photos makes me think it's time to plan some pumpkin picking. Will anyone else make a trip to the pumpkin patch this year?
