Off to Market We Go & Another SNEAK PEEK!



Today was a gorgeous day to get outside and visit our local farmer's market. Freshness all around! But it was crowded. Wall to wall cars and people. My friend and I decided maybe next time we go we'll get up earlier before the crowds, if that is possible.




Here she is picking out apples. She's a great baker, cook, you name it, and I'll bet she's thinking apple pie here!


And near us in the parking lot, a different kind of vehicle...




Oh I was tempted by what was prepared in all of these jars...but I knew what I had on my list and I didn't stray...probably next time I'll try a little something from this stand. They even had homemade soap for sale.




The colors of the fresh produce just burst off the table. I couldn't resist the light green frying peppers in the baskets in the middle. Oh I think I know what we are having for dinner tonight...

And these normally call my name EVERY TIME I go to market but today I decided to just take their picture and save the whoopie pie for the next trip.

These foods look so delish! I can't wait for our farmers market to open (still another month!). I just planted a little garden today, so will also wait patiently, but how wonderful to have access to this great market.

I just love Farmer's Markets - a little slice of heaven on earth. Unfortunately, we don't have any good ones close by for a quick weekend visit. My little boys calls them "Farmer's Rocket" because the one time we did take him to a Market we ate at Johnny Rockets afterwards and he gets the two confused. Farmer's Rocket: Fresh veggies and fruit with a side of fries! ha!
