HERE'S TO YOU, PUMPKIN PIE

HERE’S TO YOU, PUMPKIN PIE! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the morning sun rises high and bright
     pumpkin pie for breakfast—oh, what a delight!

the crust is flaky, the filling so sweet,
     cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger—what a treat!.

I take a bite, and oh, such heavenly bliss,
     the flavors meld, a culinary kiss.

the pumpkin puree, its spices swirl 
     flow with whipped cream, a dream for this ol’ girl. 

so let the critics say, "Pie for breakfast? No way!"
     I'll take a slice, come what may.

so here's to you, dear pumpkin pie.
     I don’t care if you go straight to my thighs.

David Crandall Date: 9/1/2025 5:39:00 PM I second that emotion! Here's to pumpkin pie - well, will probably wait for Thanksgiving. Login to Reply Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 9/2/2025 4:56:00 PM thanks for your shared enthusiasm for all things pumpkin spice. I've already stocked up on pumpkin spice goodies. By Thanksgiving, I probably won't pumpkin :-)

Sara Kendrick Date: 9/1/2025 5:02:00 PM Well, pumpkin pie has eggs in it and healthy fiber so there is good nutrition there despite it is called pie. I know how it feels to say to go away guilt about eating what we should not because we might gain a pound. Just don't worry about it. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K Login to Reply Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 9/2/2025 4:57:00 PM thanks for your kind words about eating pumpkin pie, Sara K. When I do indulge, I don't embrace guilt...otherwise the experience is lost. Appreciate your visit today, hugs, Sara B

Tom Woody Date: 9/1/2025 3:21:00 PM Ha! I remember you saying once that you used to be heavy. Careful kiddo, the pounds lay on quick. I love (good) pumpkin pie too. Nice ode Login to Reply Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 9/1/2025 3:52:00 PM thanks for remembering...yes, I was terribly obese until I was 28 years old...now that I'm 'maturing' it's difficult to keep my weight down....mostly due to the osteoporosis injections...messes so with my thyroid and my metabolism. Oh bother! I, too, love pumpkin pie, well...pumpkin spice anything :-)
