I hope all the family recipes are being passed along

30 degree temperatures were endured Saturday morning because there were rumors of a banana cake with a chocolate swirl on parade. 

There were also beautifully iced sugar cookies and fall arrangements.

Yes to a Thanksgiving table centerpiece that includes a lotus pod, dried sunflowers, and bittersweet.



Let's all get a pumpkin and a sharpie and write out what we are grateful for this year. If you are coming here to eat your turkey dinner, start thinking of what you will write ... shelter, family, warmth, music, books, sewing, friends, my bed, work, connections across the globe, cats, lotion, walking, flowers, trees, farmers ... I will try to save some space, but I am just getting started.



I picked up a large bunch of kale to balance out the cake.





Award for best hat of the weekend to Karen Pendleton. 



When did this grandson get as tall as his grandfather? I hope they never stop being partners at the market.

And I hope all the family recipes are being passed along. No one makes falafel or baklava like they do.

I had to get a loaf of the Peters family's sourdough bread. Just in case they are not at the very last market next weekend. It makes THE best toast. 

My basket was full by the time I got to the pumpkins or these would be on my front porch right NOW. 

Finally, let me get back to that cake for a second...

It was moist, not too sweet, the hint of chocolate balanced well with the banana. In other words, a real taste treat.
