a taste so good the memory will carry you through until pumpkin season

On Saturday, at the farmers market, while I was busy making goo-goo eyes at this amazing bougainvillea ...

... a lady came and selected the best dahlia at the market. 

But, before you start feeling sorry for me, it made for a great conversation starter with this student who also happens to be a Friday night bouquet maker at the Pendleton's farm ...

... and he led me to the second most beautiful dahlia at the market.   After which I saw this fella.  And got all melty inside.   

Some of my other favorite sights this weekend were the eggplants, the fresh juice-maker, the madison peaches, and tables full of apples. 

I have a new recipe I want to try for an apple cake this fall.  But before I head in that direction, I decided to try these blondee's.  A new variety to me.  Which I will report back on in detail after I bite into one. 

Aren't these little miniature watermelons cute?  Except they aren't watermelons.  And no, I didn't get any.  If you have tried them, do tell. 

I am addicted to peaches and blueberries with muesli this year.  Or peaches and blueberries with yogurt and granola.  And sometimes when that isn't enough peaches in a day, I slice more peaches and top them with a whisper of whipped cream and have them for dessert after dinner.  A taste so good, the memory will carry you through until pumpkin season.

We had those tiny watermelons that are in reality cucumbers in the garden last year. They are a great refreshing snack, and they grow like weeds. Try them!
