Volunteer Snapdragon

Thanks to the Picture This app on my Android phone I know this is a snapdragon seedling. Who knows how it got in the pot with my Agapanthus, but it is welcome there in Mid-September.

Pie Time

This is ready to bake. I'm making some notes here for myself so that next year I won't have to search for recipes.

A small "pie pumpkin" made exactly enough filling for 2 pies after I added 1 can of evaporated milk, about 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, spices, and 4 eggs.

The pies were done in 20 to 25 minutes on the bottom rack of my NuWave countertop oven.
