Thank you pumpkin season (aka fall or autumn)… …and Starbucks for the delicious pumpkin cream cold brew on a warm fall afternoon and… …for the hot pumpkin spice latte on a cool fall morning.

Happy Friday! I hope you had a safe and happy Halloween. Many of my favorite moments from this week centered on the holiday. Sunday, we spent the afternoon at a family pumpkin carving/barbecue.
