Is it Pumpkin Time Already?

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

The kids may be back to school, but last time I checked, it was still summer. 

Yet, coffeeshops and other stores in the area are rolling out their line of pumpkin-inspired products as if the leaves were already changing color. 

Dunkin' Donuts now offers its line of pumpkin spice coffees, muffins and donuts, and I noticed Caribou Coffee in Gambrills with similar items for sale this week. 

I guess we shouldn't be surprised, as many stores are already decking shelves with Halloween items. 

Is it too early for pumpkin-inspired products? Or are you excited that they've arrived?
