It was chilly at the farmers market on Saturday morning. That's the way it will be from now until the end of the season. Still a bit on the dark side for photos at 7:30 in the morning too. I don't like to use the flash, but I prefer the Nikon which doesn't do quite as well in low light conditions as the iPhone. I may have to drive up and wait in my car with the seat warmer on next week. I don't know why I don't just come later in the morning, but it doesn't feel right not to get there early. I love seeing it when everything looks perfect.
There were giant dahlias, marigolds, and sunflowers for sale. Plus lots of peppers.
These carefully wrapped small bouquets were just the best. I love the inclusion of herbs with flowers.
My flower selection was this gorgeous pot of mums for the front porch, to go with the purple ones I got last week.
There were also the usual suspects shown below. I had to try and get in one more batch of pickled cucumbers and onion, and my new item to try this week is the lemon-ginger-cayenne immunity shots from Liquid Garden.
There was some "roving" being spun into yarn at the market on Saturday. Which reminds me I need to get new dryer balls from her next week.
Even though it's October, and not really the season for Hummingbird cake, I could just taste the banana/pineapple flavor and feel the sensation as I bit into that piece of candied pineapple on top. Plus I did not get any cake last week.
I had a nice conversation with the gentleman below after I heard him say he wanted about 25 jalapeño peppers, which led to a conversation about what he was cooking up ... "experimenting with a jalapeño beer". That was not what I expected to hear.
One more look at the pumpkins and gourds and it was time to head home for coffee, to throw the afghan over my lap, and cozy up in the living room to read the paper.
