only very rarely does this happen.

i am up before 7.
with no alarm.
(i just won't admit to the fact that my "fitted sheet" stopped fitting around my bed last night... and i can't sleep when my feet start playing with the bunched-up stuff at the foot of my bed...)
so here i am. 6:30 am. on pinterest. surfing the web. all nice and bundled up in my blankie because going back to sleep wasn't an option.
i need some tea or something...


but i think that breakfast will have to do!
on a whim i packed some pumpkin puree... (i can't ever really explain why i do things like that sometimes). i mean, we're camping. well... ish. in my mind there is nothing "camping" about what we do every year for a week at payette lake. we stay at a condo. and then we bike down to the campground... i tend to think of this as a little sinful. ;)
nevertheless... it does have its benefits.
like a full-on kitchen. and no bugs in my food! (there are definitely times that i relish the taste of ants... but not now. actually... probably never.)


when i was packing all the food to come up here, i found a mysterious bag from winco. with numbers 1747 written on the twisty-tie. looks promising! so i packed it. and found out that it was indeed pancake mix! 
this morning... i was craving pumpkin pancakes. these were... adequate. definitely not up to snuff... as far as pumpkin pancakes go. if you want a REAL recipe. check this one out.
i know i've probably raved about it before. but my raving does not do it justice! 
you. must. try. it!


 and it even looks divine!
