It's supposed to snow tonight in Lawrence. Between 2 and 5 inches are forecast. At this very moment it is sunny and 44 degrees outside. It was a lovely day. Therefore, I am burying my head in the sand, sharing photos from the Saturday farmers market, and pretending that none of this is really going to happen.
How cute is this salad in a pot?
I did not get these geraniums, because it's too early for me, but I will be driving out to Pendleton's in the next week or so to buy a bunch. It's easier if Chris comes to help carry and load in the car. Besides I think he likes to help pick the color (sometimes I ask his opinion, but it carries no weight, he knows this).
If someone gave me a rhubarb/strawberry pie right now, I would kiss them. If they brought vanilla ice cream to go with, I would hug them too.
The woman above had such an eye catching display at her booth. When I told her this she said "I am the merchandising arm of the business". I want to be her friend. I didn't tell her that. But I am going to buy all my herb starters from her next week.
This was my favorite pair at the market this week. Don't they just look like they go together? I have an idea in my mind of exactly what their house looks like and what they were going to be doing the rest of the weekend.
For now, I leave you with the lilacs. Happy almost Tuesday. Fingers crossed for no snow. Yes, I know it's wishful thinking.
I'm in NE Ohio, just south of Cleveland. We were in the mid 60s yesterday (Monday) and have warnings for 3-4" of that white stuff starting tonight into Wednesday. I took some pix around the back yard and cut some lilacs just in case they don't survive this unwelcome blast of cold. I'm hoping for the best, but these days, anything is possible. Thanks for sharing your Farmer's Market stories. I can't wait for May when we can finally start to plant some veggies & annuals to enjoy this summer. Here's hoping that neither of us gets the white stuff.

I hate these cold snaps well after spring has started--Missouri peaches are always hit hard--last year we couldn't get many because of weather and the virus--I was hoping for a good crop this year-strawberry plants are blooming- oh ugh-to this weather and then at least here-once the cold snap leaves then suddenly temps are in the 90's and we have to turn the air conditioner on

Debbie: I think you got lots more than we did, our's all melted by the end of the day and the flowers seem to have survived. So far anyway.
Janet: the strawberry plants are most definitely on my mind!!!
