As the days grow shorter and shorter, I am grateful for these final days of Autumn. Today, we soaked in a beautiful Florida Fall day at a local, family-owned farm and produce market. I stocked up on spaghetti squash (which we ate for dinner with homemade tomato sauce) and butternut squash (which I plan to use in Snip and Snail's Roasted Sage Butternut Squash recipe). Also among my goodies were some beautiful leeks and farm-fresh eggs that I will combine into a yummy quiche in the morning. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOJLRXuUTxwLtJ4gAGOcaXNMALK5Sc1RAok-8sG5jw491XkVBKrtxx4bsWnOZVTBsitnN_w61Kq2UxZQYpyGtqcGtmOpso-sRSW09xcZVrGIpsKEp0pzrUPQ1zyWhYehMEkf-lC9KjeZc/s400/100_4625.jpg)

Selby enjoyed picking out peanuts that we will roast for snacks this week.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiV5z3xOflMKIVXzjVGub7OqOxivyMVVUloss7Zb-bvArva14-2Ls9uATZztLpBzVX4A2MSaJHQh6X-Iavko8KdDr0O1icqA2c7fGNeZPsKJkvxd-e-nOtpwcjm98p9r2f9NDCC0VH5_U/s400/100_4637.jpg)

Our fruit selection included a variety of pears and a surprising find - Florida-grown strawberries! I've been patiently waiting for these gems to show up at the market, so an early crop delighted me. A sweet sign of the changing seasons. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4UIwtdyq1f2-_t9jRmWSSTL_tb9PmcWfHfngE1gL2PhA9nO4VozlFKHgJQkOwBqR-dVqvvtKo4r4cQkn2G87ei0i10cs6r1yxaeS5QaPoUEDHj5yD2SvxAnTNlkn83FwYyeE8jD3sqJI/s400/100_4634.jpg)

Only a few remnants of the passing season remained around the farm, including a pumpkin "vase" in the country store and a jack-o-lantern photo opp.

One of the pumpkin patches we saw at our last visit was replaced with this lovely pond...
