That’s right: it’s officially Pumpkin Spice Latte season. And I am in love with all things pumpkin, my friends!
Sure, it may be a balmy 93 degrees out today but the lovely thing about Northern Virginia is that we’ve been kissed by fall a few times already.
It may not be here — yet— but it’s coming.
And I am all kinds of here for it.
