Hello Friends,
Our family once again enjoyed our pumpkin carving party.
We carved pumpkins, ate good eats and we were able to spend time enjoying the nice weather as well. Wisconsin has been blessed with amazing autumn weather. We will take each day.
All the pumpkins, the gang and Ernie too.
Some of the good eats.
And just like that it is November and we will soon gather to feast.

Trick or Treat
It is time for the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. What most recently gave you goose bumps?
I recently attended a retreat. One of the women who shared her survival story gave me the goose bumps.
2. What does Halloween look like in your home and/or neighborhood these days? Do you participate?
Halloween is strong around here. A lot of Halloween decorations in the neighborhood. Kids do not go trick or treating like they used to door to door. They seem to go to parties or Trunk and Treat events.
We no longer are open for trick or treating, because we do not have kids come door to door.
3. Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, poppy, chia...your favorite seed on the list? What's something you like to make/eat that calls for one of these seeds in the recipe?
I love poppy seeds. I love lemon poppy seed muffins.
4. What's the most (or one of the most) 'fall photos' you've ever taken? Share it here. Just one.
This photo is a favorite of mine. We were heading over to visit our friend Marv on an October evening, to give him a jack o lantern we carved for him. He had just stoked the fire. The smell of wood smoke, the calm on the lake as an autumn night rolls in.
5. Somehow we're rolling in to November next week. If your October were a chapter in a book, what would the title of this chapter be?
Gone to Soon
6. Insert your own random thought here.
