Yesterday was chilly here in Los Angeles. Walking from the train station to the office, the hair on my arms was standing straight up and I had goosebumps all over. It really felt like Fall. Typically, the weather will cool down for a short time in August to trick me into believing that Fall is here early and then September will be hotter than hell.

While the Fall temperature may not be here to stay, pumpkin products have already started showing up on the shelves of several retailers. The first pumpkin display I saw this year was at JoAnn’s Craft & Fabric store back in July. Even for a pumpkin fanatic like me, this seems way too early and lots more displays have crept up since.

Just this past weekend I saw Disneyland staff stocking shelves with pumpkin memorabilia and they even had a Fall window display. I think it was the sight of a Mickey Mouse hat decked out as a pumpkin that finally got me excited about the upcoming 2009 pumpkin season. I’m really looking forward to seeing Disneyland all pumpkin’d out and now that we just got out pass I’ll be able to take lots of pictures.

The 2009 Pumpkin Eatin’ Season is shaping up to be a good one. Only two more weeks until the official start! Woo Ho!!
