The farmers market was popping this morning. Explosions of color everywhere, thanks to the flowers. Lots and lots of beautiful flowers.
Since it is "American Flowers Week", it seems only right to devote this post to flowers. And all the people who love them. Flower Power! That was a saying way back when... wasn't it?
I also needed honey today and since Anthony was not at the market, I was happy to find this local honey.
Did I ever report back to you that the pure watermelon juice was very very good? I almost got it again today until I saw "summertime" and had to try that.
How about these beautiful heads of purple cabbage? If I didn't already have plans for the kitchen today I would have to grab one and whip up a batch of red cabbage with apple and bacon and onion...
But back to the flowers.
Did you know there was such a thing as a "tassel flower"? That beautiful little cluster of orange flowers that look ... well, like tassels?
These ladies told me about them, while they were wrapping up my sunflowers.
Here is what came home with me today.
Except you couldn't see the bourbon brown butter cake so here it is below, for those of you who love the Chonky Bakers as much as I do, and want to see what they make each week.
It was good to be back at the market today after missing last Saturday. It always throws me off kilter a bit when I miss my weekly fix of mingling with my people.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful flowers, you are a great photographer. Like the otherss, I love your visits to your farmer market.

Sister! The turmeric water has ginger and lime in it and is actualy pretty good. But I do love all the juices best.
