Too Soon?

Society, pushed by the retail sector, seem to want to push forward to the next season quicker than necessary sometimes. Today we were finishing up early at our son's place, as he wanted to take them to an indoor trampoline park. I suggested that I would have time to bake a pumpkin loaf, and my husband sprang to his feet to get on our way. My son came over beside me and asked me if I would bake him one. Well, of course I will I told him. I do very little for him and his wife. His wife doesn't like pumpkin loaf, so I will suggest that my husband brings her a bouquet of flowers on the girl's first day of school, as Mama, I know how that will help her heart and leave her with a sweet memory. The girls were quick to ask me if I would make them each a pumpkin muffin. Willow even went so far as to remind me that she likes the blue foil best, I have a multi-coloured package of muffin cups. So, there are 2 muffins and 2 pumpkin loaves cooling on the racks on the counter. Is it too soon to be enjoying pumpkin bread? I had a can of pumpkin that I bought last year and it needed to be used up before it expires.

Since Halloween is around two months away as of today, in my view it is too early to enjoy pumpkin bread.

In my defense, the can of pumpkin would be expired by then. Waste not-want not.

It is never too soon to have pumpkin bread. Rest assured on that.

The girls know that you are not going to say "no" to any of their request. They want their individual pumpkin muffins. Pumpkins are not yet on the shelves here.

Well tomorrow is the first day of fall in the meteorology world, so by those standards I am not too far off. Even if I was, my son is someone that I have a hard time saying no to.
