October Redwork Snowman

October

October’s the month

When the smallest breeze

Gives us a shower

Of autumn leaves.

Bonfires and pumpkins,

Leaves sailing down –

October is red

And golden and brown.

 Autumn Pumpkin Dip

2 cups powdered sugar

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

15 ounce can pumpkin

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon ginger

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1.  Beat the powdered sugar and cream cheese until well blended.  Blend in remaining ingredients.  Store in an airtight container.

2.  For an “occasion” this may be served in a small, fresh, hollowed-out pumpkin placed on a platter decorated with autumn leaves and surrounded with gingersnaps, vanilla wafers, and/or apple slices.  It’s also good served from an ordinary dish.

Few pumpkin flowers actually do become pumpkins.  This is because the female blossom opens for pollination for only one day in its entire life.
