fall is in the air

Despite the warm temperatures this weekend fall was definitely in the air here. Scott and I spent Sunday cleaning out our gardens front and back to get them ready for fall planting. The pumpkin baking spirit has finally snuck up on me and I made some pumpkin bread Sunday afternoon. This is my favorite pumpkin bread recipe it is moist and delicious… and makes enough to share

Or 1 large and 4 small
