Brrrrr.... it was cold at the market this morning.
Even the dogs had their coats on.
The vendors are dwindling in numbers as it gets colder, but there were gourds and pumpkins and mums to be had. I came home with a totally gnarly looking pumpkin for the table on the front porch. The guy I bought it from told me it was a "knucklehead pumpkin". Warts look surprisingly good on a pumpkin.
I also brought a couple of mums home.
When the pumpkin rolled over in the trunk on the way home it knocked the mums down. No matter. I snipped the broken parts and put them in a vase in front of the kitchen sink.
And after this arranging I proceeded to make a key lime pie. In October. Because Angie told me today she was running low on sweets and she thought it sounded good. And I agreed with her.
Key lime pie, one of my favorites! Wish I could stopover for a piece. Yum!

Even in winter, when I love pumpkin anything, I can always be swayed by my all round favorite, key lime. Good for Angie!

Dontcha know that Key Lime Pie is my absolute favorite! Did you really use key limes? Looks so limey:)

Key Lime Pie is the pie for all seasons. Or any other pie, IMHO. When I was on a birding tour to FL we tried the key lime pie everywhere we stopped for lunch or dinner. By consensus, Naples, FL won the contest, hands down. It was the best, even beating out the pie we had in Key West. I'll bet yours would beat out Naples. There isn't a substitute for home made, is there?
I adore pumpkins! All shapes and sizes, even the warty ones.
