Dixon, IL Police Warn DO NOT USE Pumpkin Spice This Early

If there's one thing that should be a crime in Illinois, it's mentioning anything pumpkin spice-related before the fall season officially kicks in.

It's just too soon for the pumpkin spice parade to start.

We're still barely recovering from the heatwaves and melting ice creams, and suddenly, the pumpkin spice fanatics invade our lives faster than big box stores bringing out Christmas decor.

Pumpkin spice has its time and place, and that's not when we're still rocking our flip-flops and shorts. An early pumpkin spice bombardment is like being offered a turkey on Valentine's Day – it's just wrong.

I say we let the summer simmer down and the pumpkins ripen, and when the time is right, we can welcome pumpkin spice with open arms. Until then, keep those pumpkin spice lattes hidden away like a well-kept secret – a delightful secret that deserves its time to shine.
