You know it's going to be a good day at the market when you simultaneously encounter a running curly-headed boy, fabulous flowers, and kohlrabi in the first 17 seconds after you arrive.
Add to that blueberries, carrots, and cherries and you are well on your way to the best day at the market so far this season.
Then, just when you think it couldn't possibly get any better, you see the cutest boy in all of Lawrence Kansas doing a Lego building demo.
Followed by one of the zinnia merchants holding a puppy who wants to lick your hands and is as soft as soft can be when you pet him.
Finally, on top of all that goodness, when I got to my car this fella was parked right next to me. He did not appear one bit tempted to jump out of the back of his vehicle. I on the other hand, wanted to kiss him all over his sweet face. But I refrained. Training that exceptional should be respected.
P.S. Happy Fathers Day to all my favorite fathers out there. You know who you are.
I want to go to your farmers market. We have a fairly large one here and even though we get there early the berries have always sold out--there are some greedy people i see carrying 6 or 7 cartons of them!! And it looks like you have wonderful flower venors. not so many here--but we do have the boys from Frankenstein, MO who sell the most, best fabulous tomatoes you have ever eaten--so that is a good thing and I did buy some lovely kale whih we ate last night sauted with olive oil and garlic and a yellow squash and we do always have some great music at our farmers market--I guess its a pretty good one after all--but I would still like to go to yours!!

That little pup looks much like the pup a lady in Home Depot gave me. I wonder what breed he is. We figure Bo is hound, but that is about all we know. I agree with Janet, your farmer's market looks great. Perhaps it is the interested photographer and cook that makes it so outstanding!!

What do you do with those green Sputnik looking things? What do they taste like? I've seen them in the grocery stores here, but never knew what to do with them.
Market looks like a little slice of heaven.
