Christmas Blah
I once felt overjoyed by the holiday seasons but I fear that is not the case this year. I am more overwhelmed, irritated, & restless. I was done with my shopping in October so no need for me to be annoyed by crouds. I just dont have my usual pep. I dont even want to bake this year. The one thing my family & friends count on & I am just not feeling it. Blah.

Pumpkins Make Nasty
My mother came to visit this weekend and brought along with her, some of my grandmothers veggies. There were chili peppers, cayenne peppers, and bell peppers. I took the time to wash them all last night and cut them. Then I divided them up and put them in freezer bags. They should last me the whole year.
I also went to my neighbors and picked their apples, as they never pick them and just want them gone. I do not steal their apples. I have permission. Anyways, I will be peeling and coring them later. Then I will freeze those. I am saving the apples for Christmas time. We are going to be visiting family this year and I intend to make enough Apple-Cinnamon Bread to actually last more than ten minutes this year.
With all the fruits and veggies I have seen this fall, I have seen pumpkins the most. With halloween well on its way here, the world seems to have gone pumpkin crazy. Don't get me wrong. I love to decorate pumpkins and I think they are a beautiful fall decoration, I just don't see much point to them.
My family hates anything pumpkin. If it were just me that despised their taste, I would gladly carve those pumpkins and save the seeds for roasting and the insides for pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin pie for the rest of my family. It's not just me. My kids look at a pumpkin pie and wrinkle their nose. I want it out of my sight. My husband, I think, actually gives it dirty looks, as if the pie can read his thoughts. As if the pie can sense his large distaste for it.
Ah, the poor pumpkin. How unkind my family is to you. You are beautiful, and yet, I have no use for you. I am truly sorry pumpkin. Truly....
