Last weekend when we went grocery shopping, the store had a whole shelving unit of Libby's canned pumpkin. This made me naturally ecstatic and I threw two cans into the cart without a moment of hesitation.
PUMPKIN.
I love it. There is something so homey about ALL THINGS PUMPKIN. It reminds me of warm sweaters, cute scarves, pretty leaves, BACK-TO-SCHOOL.....all things GOOD. Heck, I even think of football on a Sunday afternoon (something I don't normally get a smile from). It seems to be the symbol of the season and when you live in a season-less place, a simple can of pumpkin at the grocery store can skyrocket your mood and make your heart feel shiny and bright.
I am home from school again today. Big bummer. I actually cried about it this morning. I hate being sick and I HATE missing school. Which is why I hosted my own personal pity party for the first few hours of my day. Then I decided to become a grown-up, snap out of it, and think of something HAPPY.

Yes, I thought about pumpkin. That glorious moment at the grocery store last weekend, when I saw can after can of autumn-y goodness and angels sang in the background. AMAZING.
I followed that up with a trip to Pinterest, where I entered that magical, 7-letter-word into the search bar. I wish I could say "SHA-ZAMMM" in this next sentence, but that's for determining song titles/artists and that's not what this is about. So, instead I will say......TA-DA!!!!!!! The most incredible website was found.
HERE it is. F YEAH PUMPKIN! A curse-laden gateway to the most delicious pumpkin recipes you will ever find! Mmmmm hmmmm.......pumpkin cookies, pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin cakes, pumpkin and peanut butter spread (I encourage you to re-read this heavenly union), pumpkin squares, pumpkin loaves, etc., etc., etc.!!!
My life has been forever changed.
