So many thanks to those of you who have added me to your favorites list. I'm a busy bee this week! I went through half of the Cowgirl up! links last night and I plan on going through the other half tonight. So much to see and do and write and photograph (and cook, tend, clean, sort...)

Life is busy, but good.

AND Thank you to all of my peeps following me on facebook, who gave me the encouragement to make it happen yesterday! I don't know what I'd do without the "helpy helpertons" in blogland who always take the time to help a technology deficient soul like me. Big hug.

Lazy Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bars

Howdy-do little punkins!

Our first cold snap blew in last night and it is absolutely heavenly. I love love LOVE the fall. And now, it finally feels like fall here in Texas. 

We have company coming for dinner tonight. This is good. Because if I were left alone with these sweet autumn treats I'd be in trouble.

 My husband offered to cook dinner...YIPEE! So I figured I could at least whip up an easy dessert.  I couldn't resist trying the Betty Crocker Pumpkin Bar mix. They turned out deee-lish! These will be "the bees knees" with a cup of creamy hot decaf coffee tonight.

"Just around the corner...

there's a rainbow in the sky...

So let's have another cup of coffee...

and let's eat another piece of pie."

Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

Here's what I used:

1 package Betty Crocker Pumpkin Bars

1.5 cups cream cheese frosting

Sparkle sugar granules for garnish, chopped nuts would be good too I reckon'.

I hope you all are having a wonderful chili eatin', football watchin', sweater wearin' weekend!
