No, not when the leaves change, the days grow shorter, or the black cats and goblins come out. Rather, I know it’s autumn when all the pumpkin pie related foods start being served in the stores. In this case, it’s a pumpkin blizzard at my local Dairy Queen. It is basically pumpkin pie filling, ice cream, and crust bits all mixed together. I’ve had 3 this weekend and I’m supposed to be on a bit of a diet. The Aussies often use "beautiful" to describe foods and until this blizzard I’ve never known why. Oh, and did I mention I love those pumpkin spice flavored gas station cappuccinos??
