Yesterday, we thought we'd get up 'real' early and head off to the Farmers Market... (oh ya!) We did get up kind of early (for us..) But didn't get going until about 9 or so. And look how busy it was already...smile...
Saturday is always a busier day than Wednesday. Obviously because people who work can come on Saturday, Wednesday is mainly for those of us who are retired..smile.. There were pretty flowers and hangars, and of course the lady who makes all those pretty shawls etc. On the right side is our friend who sells jams, jellies, vegetables and meat. We brought back several jelly jars for her to repurpose, Tom had to slip behind the table to get them to her...their booth is always soooo busy, which of course means they sell some amazing products!! We did get some tomatoes but will go back Wednesday for the jellies that I want to buy. And the bottom photo is the lady who did the flowers on our front porch. I did get another pot of flowers from her and will take a picture of them later..smile..
There are always lots of dogs down there, we thought this little puppy was so cute. The owner picked her up so we could get a picture of her. She is part St. Charles Cavalier (and not sure what the other part was...) Isn't she adorable?? I had to take a photo of the menu Carol's Kitchen had put up, what caught my eye was the Root Beer Floats ($1.25)..when my daughter and granddaughters were here a few years ago...they had to buy a few of those root beer floats, but I think they were $1.00 back then! We were going to have a little of her breakfast items, but there was a 15 minute wait (or more) so Tom just bought a rhubarb pie. I thought Karen would love that, but I guess she isn't crazy about Carols crusts...so sounds like Tom and I will have to eat it...lol (Then there was jewelry there also..pretty...)
There was a guy selling steaks and had little 'one bite' samples...(they were good but too expensive)..I love how this one lady sets up her display, carrots, broccoli, chard etc. We did get some green beans and snow peas from her. AND I just had to buy those little onions. The guy said the bulbs grow on top of a 5 foot stem. His wife's family were Amish and they grew them. I think they might be like shallots!! They have an amazing aroma. Then as we were leaving..this gal was laying on the ground playing her guitar while her friend was singing. (Not sure how much money was in their pot...lol)
Here are just a few of the items we got yesterday..the tomatoes are almost gone. The day was fun, we saw so many people that we knew. They all came up and talked to us, from some of my Red Hat friends, church friends, friends of our family members, a lady from the Dollar Store and one from the doctors office...and just friends.. How blessed we are...
Hope you're having a wonderful weekend..
