Almost all the fall leaves fell outside from trees. then there is going to be spring cleaning before winter. I went to the store to buy pumpkins, Pumpkins are in season. I decided to make pumpkin soup. we can eat it with homemade bread with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds on top. I can still hear birds chirping and flying. It’s almost nighttime. the evening is turning in tonight. we tried to save as many plants as we can by putting them in the side to give them more time to survive from coming harsh winter. some of them have stripes on them and some of them are round and some have skinny necks but they taste good when cooked properly. There are lots of different types of pumpkins are in seasons of different sizes and shapes. some are very unique shapes and you guys can find them in local farmer stands. pumpkin soup recipe and ingredients are ready .
