Pumpkins and Huge Puzzles

I am thinking pumpkin again - 

though it does not feel like fall yet,

I know that it is the season for the fall flavors of 

pumpkin,

apple,

cinnamon,

nutmeg ...

Enjoyed pumpkin pancakes this morning,

with homemade pumpkin creamer in my coffee.

We relished a pumpkin pie last week,

and maybe I will make another while hubby works this weekend.

I am thankful for the changing seasons.

I love the promise of cooler temps,

and the changes in available fruits and veggies.

What about the huge puzzle?

I am thankful that we have rounded up the parts to put a friend's car back together.

She had a little fender-bender at the start of the school year,

and hubby is making the car usable and safe again.

I am thankful for the internet - which connected us with some of the parts,

and a very helpful and knowledgable clerk 

at the local auto parts store (you don't always get one).
