Is It Pumpkin Time Already?

From coffee to muffins to donuts, one key sign of fall has already arrived.

It may still feel like summer, but signs of fall have been popping up all over Bel Air—especially in the form of pumpkin flavored coffee and muffins. 

Both Coffee Coffee and Shamrock Coffee Company in Bel Air have advertised on their Facebook pages that they are now serving pumpkin spice lattes. Local Dunkin' Donuts now offer its line of pumpkin spice coffees, muffins and donuts.

But with temperatures in the 80s still, is it too soon for pumpkin?

I am not a huge fan of pumpkin spice lattes, but I do wait all year for a good OctoberFest. When dining at the Outback Steakhouse in Bel Air on August 22, I learned the restaurant was already carrying OctoberFest. However, I had to turn it down, since it was still about 90 degrees out.

So I ask, is it too soon for pumpkin season? Or do you enjoy it so much that you're happy to have a pumpkin spice latte no matter the temperature? Tell us in the comments.
