This week at the farmers market, my very, very, very, most favorite picture was the last one I took right before getting back to the car. This absolute heart squeezer in the most perfect rain outfit ever. With the nicest mom, I might add.
Most others in attendance were using umbrellas. Which I guess has to work when we can no longer pull off the rubber boots and flowered raincoat look.
The Pendleton's renowned asparagus in purple or green were available. I picked up a nice bunch, blanched them when I got home, squeezed lemon on them, added some to my mixed greens Saturday night along with toasted walnuts, chopped celery, and a balsamic vinaigrette. Divine.
She needed no umbrella. I think she used to be a rubber boot - flower raincoat type. I can tell by her smile.
This rainbow chard was beautiful.
Next to my new friend in photo #1, comes my second favorite photo of the week. I am calling it "true love at the market".
And if that wasn't enough, as I rounded the corner, there were PEONIES! I snatched up a bunch.
Iris were also available.
Here's what came home with me this week.
It's important to see that inside one of those white bags was a piece of Black Forest cake - full of moist cherries and rich chocolate flavor, it never disappoints.
The end.
