Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Now that Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin have moved on to next year, we still have a few weeks of fall harvest left. There are crops of apples and pumpkins to find uses for before "Turkey Day". On a cool fall morning, one of my faves is a cup of hot coffee with some time of pastry. Wouldn't pumpkin coffee cake be just perfect? My friend Barb passed me the recipe as one of her absolute faves.
