how did that happen?
September is here!
the Summer is coming to an end...
you know me, I'm holding onto it for dear life!
i LOVE Summer!
the official last day of Summer this year is the 23rd of September!
but, i LOVE Fall too.
September is my Birthday month!
September brings warm days, cooler nights and the start of the changing leaves and start of Fall.
September also brings traditions like heading to Brigham and the fruit stands,
getting ready for Halloween and Spooky Spark and of course an all time family and friend favorite,
the baking of my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are back!
{i only make them in the Fall}
yesterday i woke up with the goal of getting my first batch out!
the house smelled like heaven.
it was 90 yesterday so it didn't feel like Fall but the smell was definitely Fall!
my tradition is to make them the first week of September and share them with neighbors and friends!
because you aren't all my neighbors but are my friends i always share my tradition with YOU and hope that you make them and share them with your neighbors and friends!

Oh my goodness... I am loving your recipe!!! but even more those darn cute Hooties. Only problem is... I am not a 'sewer'... not even in the 'slightest'. I cross stitch... but the sewing machine and thread..NOPE... may I ask...??? is there anyone that would be willing to whip these up from kit form for me?? Obviously for a charge ! Thanks in advance... I am an owl lover..and these are adorable.

Your muffins are making their 3rd annual (it could be 4th) beginning of Fall appearance here just outside Nashville. Thanks for sharing yourself with us. The tobacco barns are smoking and the smell of fall is in the air. Love from Music City!
