What Do You Want to Make Today?
Over the weekend we bought an itty bitty pumpkin at the grocery store. It’s a little early to decorate for Halloween, but pumpkins in their whole form are perfectly appropriate for fall, and they’re cute, so why not?

I’m a Virgo, which anyone who knows anything about astronomy will assume means that I’m logical, analytical and well organized.
