What better way to enjoy a cool, crisp Fall morning that with scones fresh from the oven. Why, we’re drooling just writing this blog!
You’ll need:
To make:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a food processor, combine flour, sugars, baking powder, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse until ingredients are well combined. Sprinkle butter pieces over the top of the flour mixture and pulse until mixture becomes fine crumbs.
In a large measuring cup, whisk together heavy cream, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour pumpkin/cream mixture over flour/butter mixture in food processor and pulse until mixture begins to clump.
Carefully turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Fold the dough in half over itself and use your hands to gently flatten layers together. Rotate the dough and fold in half again, repeating this step 5 times (don’t overwork the dough). Form into a disk about 6 inches wide.
Using a large knife, cut dough into 8 wedges pressing knife straight down (don’t saw). Place scones 2 inches apart on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Brush each scone with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Transfer to oven and bake for 17 minutes. Enjoy!

Summer is here and with it comes the magnificent light show of the glowing firefly. Many of us enjoy sitting on the back porch at dusk, watching in awe as the little critters light up the lawn. However, due to habitat destruction and pollution, the firefly populations have shrunk. Here are a few tips to draw these glimmering glow worms to your backyard!
Go Sans Chemicals
We tend to go spray happy in the warm months in order to get rid of mosquitos and other pesky bugs. However, most chemicals don’t discriminate and will likely kill the fireflies as well. Firefly larvae are born underground so any chemicals used for your grass would also be fatal.
Let The Snails Be
Fireflies love munching on slugs, snails, worms, and other slimy things. These brilliant beauties feast on grubs by immobilizing their food-to-be with toxic enzymes before sucking out the liquified body contents. Yummy! As most critters stay where there’s food, leave their viscous victims alone.
Cover Up
Fireflies are nocturnal and hide in tall grass and low-profile plants during the day. Give these guys a place to sleep with a variety of tall grasses, low-growing plants, and a few shrubs.
Go Dark
Fireflies get confused by artificial light. Turn off all interior and exterior lights to allow these luminous lampyridae do their thing!
