Happy Fall, Y'all!


I must confess I have a slight obsession with Fall. Being raised in Louisville, KY we actually had a "real" Fall there. Today's high is in the mid 80's but that feels cool for south Alabama. So, I'm going for it... fall shoes and pumpkin muffins! Mmm! The muffins taste & smell even better than they look... especially smothered in cream cheese. And the shoes feel even better than they look. I'm a flip flop/Chaco girl and these provide some much needed support after a long summer of no support!

My friend Tami is having a c-section this morning! In fact, sweet Mary Grace may already be here! I know she'd love it if you'd send up a prayer for them!

Oh I can smell the muffins here in N.C. We do celebrate 4 seasons and fall is arriving quickly....60 degrees last night after a very hot summer.
Praying for your friend!

Love the shoes and the muffins look tasty - would you like to share the recipe???? I love fall too - I've actually been getting up at 4:30 am to run a few days a week - knowing it's cool and brisk outside is my motivation!!!

funny, I've been getting into the fall mood here too... and expressed that by baking! Your muffins look better than mine!

Since Saturday, I've made two loaves of banana bread, and I'm planning to make a pumpkin roll, which has a sweetened cream cheese filling! YUM!
I love Fall, too, Darby! More since I've gotten married to Russell...b/c he LOVES this season!
Happy Fall to you, too, friend!
Do share your pumpkin muffin recipe!! :)

Darby,
Cute shoes. I too am a chaco/flipflop/dansko girl. Do pass on the details of those shoes. I think I might like a pair in black and brown.

AH! Since reading, bebe has been begging for your muffins and cream cheese. Yesterday, I couldn't make it home from the grocery store without snacking on my new jar of pickles. Today, I think it's gonna be a pumpkin muffin. :)

It's cooler here too and I'm planning to make Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey butter cake soon! I can't tell you how yummy!! But I already made banana bread and this pregnant girl is getting to be a fatty so I better watch it!

I have a recipe for WONDERFUL pumpkin spice cookies with cream cheese frosting. I'll send it to you for sure! Count me in as a fall-aholic. I absolutely love love love this time of year. Here in Ohio fall is gorgeous -- I'm ready!

I LOVE fall. I actually fill my house with fall scented air fresheners (I love the ones from White Barn Candle Co.)several months before the arrival of fall. I like to "pretend" it's fall when I'm in the house. I made pumpkin muffins from a mix a couple of weeks ago, but have been wanting to make homemade ones. Are yours homemade? If so, you have to post the recipe.

I don't know if you remember me, but we had some mutual friends while at Auburn. Our husbands used to be friends, as well. (Tell Justin that Ben said "hello".) I last talked to you at Chris and Kara's wedding when we were both pg. Congrats on the little boy!
