I used to be all "garanimal" in my closet. I liked the same colors grouped together - I can be really particular about some things, but yet other things don't bother me. Prince Charming says I'm somewhat "Rain Man" like. Sometimes I want everything to be perfect. And I mean perfect... The good thing is that the older I get, the less it bothers me. Does anyone else struggle with this?

Ok, the mixture of clothes in the closet don't look as jumbled in the picture as they do in real life. 

I'm soooo ready for the Covered Bridge Festival. This is shopping weather!

Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins

I found this recipe on another blog and made it this weekend - yummy!!!

Check out Colleen's blog - http://andbabymakesfive-colleen.blogspot.com/.  She does a Friday recipe exchange and one day I'll figure out how to link and post to it.  I've found some really good recipes by visiting her site.  Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did.

Pumpkin Butterscotch Muffins
(based on a recipe from Allrecipes)

3/4 cup wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (or 1 tsp. cinnamon plus 1/2 tsp ginger and 1/2 
tsp. nutmeg)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup butterscotch chips

In a large bowl, combine flours, sugars, spices, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin puree, and melted butter. Stir into dry mixture and add butterscotch chips.  Pour into greased or lined muffin tins and bake at 350 degrees for 17-20 minutes. Makes roughly 18 standard-sized muffins.

We're growing pineapples!

I forgot to put this picture in the Florida Part 2 post. A few years ago, Boscoe, George and I went to visit my parents after school was out. Short story - we bought a pineapple, the boys asked Grandma if they could plant it and presto ..... she now has a pineapple growing in her backyard. I can't remember how many years it takes to grow a pineapple, but we're on our way.

It's a beautiful crisp fall day. Great for bonfires and baking I say. Prince Charming thinks it's a great day to paint the front porch.
