I went to Whole Foods and look what I found.
A hint that the seasons are changing.
The first pumpkins have arrived.
These are all carving pumpkins.
I guess, here in the tropics, they won't get mushy until they are cut!

I found the Dump Cake recipe I was looking for.
Here it is:
Autumn Dump Cake
1 can (29 ounces) pear pieces in light syrup, undrained
1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 package (doubt 15 ounces) yellow cake mix
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into thin slices
1/4 cup caramel topping, warmed
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
Spray 13x9 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Drain pears, reserving 1/2 cup syrup.
Spread pears and apple pie filling in prepared pan;
drizzle with reserved pear syrup.
Sprinkle with cranberries.
Top with cake mix, spreading evenly.

Drizzle with caramel topping.
3. Bake 40 to 45 minutes
or until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean.

I always check out the flowers at Whole Foods
and I found some lovely tulips...
in Fall colors!

Then I went to Trader Joe's to finish my grocery shopping
and I found more flowers.
I think the iris is near the top of my favorites list.
I just love everything about them.

Meanwhile, in Musashi's Garden,
a little anole was shedding his skin.
It's busy around here!
Wishing YOU well and much joy!
