Chilly sunrise plus Pumpkin Cheesecake CupCakes YUM!

Waking up this morning and it is cold.
I like a cool brisk morning but only if the sun is shining.
It feels like Autumn and my coffee is extra delicious :)

I am having a yummy pumpkin bar that I got from Trader Joes this week.  It is good but I really like homemade better.  Gotta find me a good recipe.  Pumpkin everything, I am a crazy pumpkin lover!!
