One of my biggest loves about autumn are the pumpkins and scarecrows. I have a passion for pursuing new and personality-ladened ones to add to my collection, or just to admire. Hence, my wonderful husband tolerates this adventure because he knows I will eventually make his favorite autumn dessert: No-bake pumpkin pie.

A Reward From Him
On this beautiful- gift-of-a- morning in Colorado, and keeping with my “no dairy, no sugar” fast, I enjoyed a breakfast of scrambled eggs, grits and bacon. But what I’ve enjoyed the most is spending time with precious granddaughters. They provide hours of fun and making sure I sleep well at night 😉 - But not … Continue reading A Reward From Him
