Not even pumpkin  pie (give me a slice of sweet potato pie, a

My house would be filled with plants if I could keep themalive. Growing up my mom and grandma had gorgeous flower beds, hugegardens with tasty vegetables, and house plants that took over. I wanted tohave all

Happy Pumpkin Spice Season!Or is it?I’m all for pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, and pumpkin muffins, but I can proudly say I’ve never imbibed a Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL). And I got to wondering, where the heck did the idea come from? And how did it take over the world? Was there more to it than just a marketing ploy?
