it's pumpkin season

Happy first day of Fall,

so in my book,

this marks the official start of

 pumpkin season!

Let’s decorate to our hearts delight

with these happy orange gourds.

Place a few on the front porch and

a few small ones on a side table...

dress them up with spanish moss and spooky little owls.

Feature a few on the mantle,

or how about a whole mess of them

 spilling out of the fireplace?

Linus Van Pelt was right,

pumpkins are a sign of sincerity.

They’re the most honest,

natural symbol of Autumn,

and their cheery colors and fun shapes

are sure to bring a smile to your face!

Planting a gorgeous pumpkin

with your favorite succulents

is one of the best ideas yet!

Everything deserves a little 

pumpkin face this time of year!

I will have to get busy making some

jack-o-lantern faced empanandas,

using my mother’s secret recipe of course –

made the Argentine way!

Actually, it’s not so secret,

and I’ll share it one of these days,

if you’re interested  ; )

ciao! fabiana
