He Put Her In A Pumpkin Shell

I suppose it wouldn't be October without the obligatory pumpkin post...disregarding all my past Octobers without pumpkin patch posts (trying say that ten times fast). I can't recall ever going to a pick-your-own-pumpkin patch before, but it was a fun excursion I wouldn't mind repeating next year. It's funny how the yen for seasonal festivities lies dormant most of summer then begins all at once. One moment you're walking home, pulling your hat down over your ears to avoid some of the cold wind whipping down the streets and the next you're smelling cinnamon in the air and wondering when Fall became an alchemist as leaves turn gold. Is pumpkin pie an appropriate breakfast food?
