Oct. 1, 2009 - It's October!!!

If you've followed my blog at all, you know how much I adore autumn in New England.  We had snow flurries today and there is now snow atop the mountains behind our house.  I feel so incredibly blessed to able to live here and so thankful to the Lord for the beauty He created!  My heart is full.

"October's the month
When the smallest breeze
Gives us a shower
Of autumn leaves.
Bonfires and pumpkins,
Leaves sailing down -
October is red
And golden and brown."

Fall is in the air and I do not believe there is a person on earth more excited than I am!!!  My first New England fall in 12 years!  I have to pinch myself on a daily basis to make sure that I really get to live here and I'm not just dreaming!  So, it is with eager anticipation that I offer you this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Latte, from the Allrecipes.com.  I'll be trying it tonight and I'll let you know how it is. If you try it, please tell me what you think and if you find a better one, I'd love to know.  Starbucks Pumpkin Spice latte's are my favorite!
