Pumpkin Spice – the Spice Girl no one talks about.

(Well, someone had to go there.)

At these prices gasoline show smell of pumpkin spice.

The horrors! It even contaminates beer. ;-(

Pumpkin spice is the new bacon.

The spice must flow!

Must be a great smelling highway

Can’t wait for it at SB every year, my favorite flavor for a frap. I’m always the first to request it at my Target and continue until it runs out sometime in Jan or Feb. This year my favorite baristas “snuck” and started making ps fraps for me in August. Yes, I know, expensive and calorie laden but what the heck, life is short!

A month that seems so nice

The Day we all get pumpkin spiced

The month the Great Pumpkin blesses us with spice

Lattes and teas hot or cold. Muffins and Bread

Cheesecakes, pies, whole or by the slice

Ice cream or even beer on ice

Pumpkin Spice slowly creeps in without being noticed. Then it stays longer each time. Just wait… it’s almost FallHalloThanksChristmas!

Then… it’ll be time for Pumpkin Spice PEEPS®

What would happen if that truck crashed into the Maple train from Canada. I’m thinking they would have to create a new state around the area.

That is so last month, we are already on to Halloween and Thanksgiving in stores.

My wife started the everything pumpkin phase at the last week of August. Me, I just want a piece of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving and at Christmas and I’m set for another year.

That’s enough to power the whole US!

One of my very few dislikes. Can’t stand pumpkin. Or sweet potatoes, either. Personal taste. If I had a hog I thought anything of I wouldn’t feed him either one.

YUCK!!!!! I only like it in Pumpkin Pie…

Bleeb is plotting to hijack that truck

For the sake of humanity, head it off at the pass!

Worse than that, I went shopping this morning and Lowe’s has the snowblowers out, the Halloween decorations on one side of the aisle and the Christmas trees and decorations on the other.

Bleeb must be allergic to the spice. He’s keeping his distance.

The very best thing about Fall!!!

Or stupidity and lack of taste?
