Did you know that tomorrow is officially the 1st day of Fall? I'm very excited about that!!!:)!!!
I just love fall and everything about it. Especially pumpkins. Ok, I'm obsessed with anything pumpkin. As most of you probably know.
We will be celebrating the first day of fall by making pumpkin pancakes for breakfast then decorating the house after school/work. I promise to post pictures later this week and maybe share with you some of my new pumpkin recipes. Think.... pumpkin pie oatmeal.... mmmmm....
So, in a tribute to one of my favorite times of the year here are some pumpkin facts:
*Pumpkin’s are fruits and their blossoms are edible. They can be baked into breads, used as
edible garnishes, or even batter-dipped and fried.
*Pumpkin was one of the foods introduced by the Native Americans to the colonists. Native
Americans pounded strips of pumpkin flat, dried them, and wove them into mats for trading.
They also dried pumpkin for food.
*90% of the pumpkin is made of water. Illinois grows more pumpkins than any other state in
the country. It harvests nearly 12,300 acres of fruit every year.
*The earliest pumpkin pie made in America was quite different than the pumpkin pie we enjoy
today. Pilgrims and early settlers made pumpkin pie by hollowing out a pumpkin, filling the
shell with milk, honey and spices and baking it. (source)
*The largest pumpkin pie ever baked was in 2005 and weighed 2,020 pounds.
*Pumpkins were formerly considered a remedy for freckles and snakebites.
*Each year, growers compete for the honor of growing the world’s largest pumpkin. The largest
recorded pumpkin grown was on October 1, 2005 at the Pennsylvania Giant Pumpkin Growers
Weighoff. It weighed 1,469 pounds, breaking all previous world records, and was grown by
Larry Checkon of North Cambria, Penn.

A Strong Woman vs. A Woman Of Strength
A Strong Woman vs. A Woman Of Strength
A strong woman works out every day,
Pride in her appearance she portrays,
But a woman of strength kneels to pray,
Keeping her soul in shape, God leading the way.
A strong woman isn't afraid of anything,
Looking forward to challenges each day will bring,
Women of strength show courage in the midst of fear,
Knowing triumph through faith because the Lord is near.
Strong women won't let anyone get the best of them,
So skilled in defense even if they have to pretend,
Yet a woman of strength gives her best to everyone,
Being anointed with divine blood from the only begotten Son.
A strong woman relies on the physical attributes making her tough,
In her search for power and money she will never have enough,
A woman of strength understands that it’s not about material stuff,
Knowing that before becoming a diamond first she’ll be in the rough.
A strong woman sometimes disguises her feelings shadowed by clouds,
Unhinged when challenged on her policy becoming boisterous and loud,
A woman of strength concerns herself not with judgment from others,
And will not let business interfere with commitments as a wife and mother.
A strong woman is easily impatient back and forth she will begin to pace,
Counting on her holier than thou attitude instead of depending on faith,
A woman of strength is assured trust in God will always carry her through,
And at the Creator’s appointed time she’ll receive all that is justly due.
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same for tomorrow,
Refusing to take time looking back with reverence and Godly sorrow,
The woman of strength realizes life's mistakes no matter how slim,
While thanking God for the blessings as she capitalizes on them.
A strong woman walks head first with no doubt in her mind,
Again, no matter what, she’ll not make this mistake a second time,
But a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls,
So when a situation arises again, she’s not afraid to answer the call.
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face,
Always doing whatever it takes to finish, seeking only first place,
The woman of strength competes with an emotional sense of grace,
Understanding it’s more important to run a Holy Spirit filled race.
A strong woman has faith that for the journey she’ll have enough,
No matter how uneven the terrain or roads being rocky and rough,
A woman of strength knows it’s in the journey she will become strong,
And the love of God is forever with her, no matter how difficult or long.
A strong woman when uninformed thinks that she is being mistreated,
In the end her physical attributes fail causing doubt to become seeded,
A woman of strength will compromise as a little give and take is needed,
Why? Because a lesson not learned the first time is soon to be repeated.
Ladies! Philippians 4: 6, start everyday with supplication & prayer,
Trust and believe that God will always get you from here to there,
And should your giant steps seem to be moving only inch by inch,
The journey is not as A Strong Woman but A Woman Of Strength.
