Oh autumn! I do like you.
I wish I could spend more time enjoying your company, though. This whole "being crazy busy" thing--coupled with the whole "this isn't the most fun part of Chicago to wander around" thing--is not allowing me to take in your beauty as much as I'd like.
Plus--they don't sell anything pumpkin here. During a very in-depth survey of the local supermarket last week, the ONLY pumpkin-things I found were: whole pumpkins, canned pumpkin, a frozen Sara Lee pie, and ONE very sad-looking 3-day-old unrefrigerated pumpkin pie in the bakery section. I had to settle for a "pumpkin" donut from Dunkin Donuts; it wasn't very pumpkin-y.
BOO HISS. Whimper, pout.
P.S. This photo is my one photograph that's been published! I'm very proud of that.

it turns out the single largest producer of pumpkins is a farm close to here... you can see pumpkins for miles and miles...

Well..what's wrong with them? No diner you can go to with home made baked pies? Call that pie maker on TV, they deliver. :)
