So, as most of you know, my absolute FAVORITE time of year is fall! I love pumpkins, the crispness in the air, wonderful scented candles and of course the pumpkin patch, where yours truly was engaged! And it seems as though the season is upon us! But I got my first taste (literally) of fall today when I drove up to Starbucks. As an unsuspecting patron, I assumed I would be ordering my usual grande, nonfat, cinnamon dolce latte. But as I pulled into the drive-thru, what do I see other than orange balloons and PUMPKINS adorning the speaker box! A large sign reading "Starbucks original Pumpkin Spice Latte is Back" was also posted. So when the lovely starbucks lady asked if I would like to try a Pumpkin Spice Latte, naturally my answer was "why yes of course!" As I sipped my latte on the way home (the foam is orange and wonderful this year), with windows rolled down to feel the crisp 66 degree weather, I couldn't help but smile! Fall is officially here: time for leaves, candles, pumpkins of course, and wonderful afternoons spent with my favorite drink: pumpkin spice! Get yourself one and indulge outside with a book and maybe a pet pumpkin! :)
