My favourite thing about autumn is the smell of the air. But right up there in my favourite autumnal things is pumpkin. When I was little, Grammie would make me pumpkin pies. I would slice myself a big wedge and sit down with a big smile and a big fork and a big blop of [...]
I know, I know, two boy-posts in a row. I have more going on in my life than Boy, I swear.
In fact, he was gone all weekend. And I did things like watch TV on the couch with my little sister and study at Katrina’s house for hours and explore “Pick More Daisies” [...]
