So why "Over the Backyard Fence" ?
When I decided to start blogging last year I wanted my posts to be like conversations... like two old friends talking over the backyard fence. Sharing stories about their lives, their Lord, joys, sorrows, swapping recipes, ideas and friendship! I consider it a blessing and an honor to share a friendship with so many bloggy gals over my cyber backyard fence! I look forward to coming here everyday to read your comments and visit your blogs!
With that said... today I want to hand a recipe over the fence to ya'll. This is one of my favs, perfect for this time of year - and is VERY tasty! Oh, and simple to make as well! Enjoy!

And I will gladly accept your Pumpkin Crisp over the backyard fence. It sounds delicious! My family (of course, every one but my boys) loves pumpkin recipes. I will give this a try soon.
God Bless,

Oh Kristen, I'd love to share Pumpkin Crisp with you over the backyard fence.
These days, backyard fences are so high (at least in Phoenix) that you never get to know your neighbors. It is such a sad thing. I remember growing up how we all knew every neighbor and spent time visiting them all. I miss those days.
Thanks for the recipe.

Yes, oh yes, now something to go with my pumpkin lattes from Starbucks!
