pumpkin pie | friends, fall, and change

veggies

My friend, Trent Court, gave me this pumpkin pie.  His wife, Kat, made this pie from pumpkins grown in their garden.  We consumed this pie well under a day’s time! I am absolutely loving these cool, fall days.  The weather here in Denver is so beautiful this time of year, when the days are shorter, […]
