Like a lot of folks, I've been obsessed with Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte for the last 10 years, and yes I get excited when pumpkin season rolls around. But this year I've noticed the pumpkins (and their lattes) came out even earlier, and there seems to be pumpkin EVERYTHING. At Trader Joe's alone today I saw the following: pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin chai mix, pumpkin bar mix, pumpkin biscotti, pumpkin cereal bars, AND pumpkin yogurt (that was sold out, of course). Since it's clearly time for pumpkins, here are a few of my favorite area pumpkin patches (so you can have pumpkin porches, of course!!)
