Coming to an End

I am always partially sad and partially relieved when this time of year finally rolls around.  Our season is almost over and wintertime slowness is approaching.

On one hand this season was so busy.  The events were bigger.  The timelines were tighter.  The whole season flew by in the blink of an eye.  And frankly myself and all of our staff are tired.  The long hours and seven day work weeks have finally caught up with us.

But on the other hand, I love to be busy.  I hate how slow the wintertime is.  The days drag and I just dread them!

As our season starts to come to a close, be sure to let us know if you need your equipment picked up. We are busy scheduling seasonal pick ups right now so call in soon to get on the schedule!

Thanks again for another great season!

Pumpkin, Pumpkin Every Where!

During this time of year, pumpkin foods go on overload. It’s almost as if pumpkin wasn’t around for the entire year and it’s a limited edition fruit. 

Yes, fruit; a pumpkin is actually a fruit, not a vegetable.

Around this time of year, coffee shops like Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts pull out their pumpkin best and we, consumers, go crazy. They have managed to put pumpkins into EVERYTHING, including muffins, bread, cookies and coffee. Don’t forget the donuts!

Pumpkin Spice Latte Anyone??

Not only do baked goods suddenly have pumpkin in them, beer does too. Pumpkin beer is the main ingredient in some great recipes. Click here to check out ten AMAZING recipes from last week's Parade Magazine.

Apart from food, we can find the pumpkin scent as well. For example, Bath and Body Works carries a pumpkin hand soap, hand sanitizer and candle, which smells INCREDIBLE.

So what is it about the pumpkin flavor or scent that we have correlated it to fall? Could it be its affiliation with Halloween? 

If you have any theories, we would LOVE to know. Leave a comment below and we will get back to you.
