And then I looked through my archives for our favorite pumpkin cookie recipe and I found those same words.  Pure giddiness for this time of year.  And everything fall.  The colors!
 Has this ever happened to you?!  I use a tea towel to cover the bowl so that the flour doesn't explode everywhere when I pour it into the mixing bowl.  The tea towel became caught in the blade.  I laughed so hard.  And now that I think about it, I can't believe it was the first time that ever happened!
 Anyhow, no harm done to the dough.
I added 1 cup of butterscotch chips thinking that might be a fun addition.  Nah.  We decided we like them without the chips.  I, personally,  still love them best with nuts.  Walnuts or pecans.  The recipe can be found here.

I can't wait to share my favorite new hat pattern.

Have a beautiful weekend, friends!
