I bought a can of pumpkin the other day, rather than buying a whole real pumpkin, which would probably rot on the porch since it's still so warm here...and I asked hubby if he would prefer some Pumpkin Bread, or a Pumpkin Pie...and so you see what he requested above.
I usually try to hold off baking pumpkin pies until closer to Thanksgiving so we don't burn out on them, but since he asked so sweetly, how could I refuse?
We've been promised a lot of rain this week, and so these clouds that were rolling in this afternoon looked pretty promising...
I could hear the thunder rolling in the distance, so we brought Blackie in the house and waited for the storm to arrive.
Meanwhile, as I was trying to take pictures at the back door, this is what I was contending with...
Someone absolutely LOVES my shoes...
Speaking of hearts...this was on the back porch a while ago when I went back outside to try and take some more pictures...
Time will tell if we get any more rain tonight...almost an inch was forecasted for today, and we barely got a teacup full. But the night's not over yet...it still says more rain is on the way in the next couple of hours, so we shall see.
And no, I didn't get that garden bed weeded yet. Scott didn't come down today because we had a meeting after church and so he said he'd come next week. It doesn't look too bad from up here on the porch! LOL.I pray that God will arm you with the strength that you need for this week...and that you will know that He is making your way perfect. God's Word is true and is "proven"...and "He is a shield for all who trust in Him." When we place our trust in the LORD, He will provide all the protection and strength that we need. Those are some good promises to us as we keep our eyes on Him. Amen.
Have a blessed and beautiful week.













I made pumpkin muffins yesterday - yum!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you got some rain and I hope more continues to fall this week.
Love the heart leaf!
I enjoy your site so much. Growing up in Pike County, Illinois, I now live in southern California. Fall in your part of the country is so marvelous. Here, the temp is 104 deg and will be like that forever. We live in Murrieta, CA where it is desert climate.
ReplyDeleteWe had a pretty good rain this evening. It rained hard for about 30 minutes. Hope you got some too! I only want one piece of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving Day. That's enough for me. I do love my mom's recipe for pumpkin bread, though! That heart shaped leaf is beautiful. It would like nice, preserved and framed!! Have a happy week ahead, Pam!! xo
ReplyDeleteBlackie loves you so much. I loved Lucy Goosey. I also love PUMPKIN PIE!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could send you some of the rain we have gotten and are still getting. It would fill up that pond. That little thing sitting down in the Bay of Campeche has me watching too. Maybe that will just be rain and keep the hurricanes at bay.
ReplyDeleteThe pie looks amazing.
If you get any extra rain please send it our way . . . I love pumpkin pie ☺️
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you got more rain last night, Pamela, as you sorely need it! I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie, but yours sure does look tempting! And yes, I agree, Blackie is a cutie even if he does get "underfoot." Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI just researched drought conditions for Florida and they think it might get much wetter in the months ahead but, not nearly what you need. But we know who is in charge and the wonders He can do! It's nice to see Blackie being so at home with you. They can make wonderful friends. Pie looks good! Here in NJ we are over our requirement for rainfall and the Nor'easter dumped almost 8 inches on us. Its been rainy now for a few days as well. I will see if I can send some your way. :)
ReplyDeleteI do make pies for Thanksgiving but not another one all year! Blackie looks very happy!
ReplyDeleteYour Blackie is really something else !!!
ReplyDeleteSure hope you get the promised rain asap !!
Love the Heart leaf and yumm on pumpkin pie. I really love it.
HONK, HONK to Mrs. Goose too. Too cute.

Oh, your pumpkin pie looks so yummy! I've never made one of my own, largely because Tom's not fond of it. Wal-Mart sells these dear little 4" pies, however, which is the perfect size so I won't indulge.
ReplyDeleteLucy the Goose looks adorable in her block and hat. Blackie had better be careful, or she may steal his spotlight.
I'm so glad you're getting that much-needed rainfall. Ours was bit a pittance; no need for even an umbrella. Oh well, the season is young!
