Farmer's Market


A crisp October morning at the local farmer's market epitomizes all that is good about fall. We sampled organic broccoli, carrots and leeks sauteed in olive oil. We tasted honey on toothpicks and shared blueberry scones and cheese Danish with our friends. But let's face it, we didn't bounce home with any organic broccoli or leeks. No, the O's shuffled home with a jug of tangy apple cider and the cider donuts to match. Fabulous! We'll be back for more of that. Topping off the morning, the girls picked up ceramic knick-knacks from the adjoining flea market, (winner: a tiny glass elephant with a pink glass rose saudered to it's butt, glued on a 1"x2" mirror base), while Torpedo roamed the adjacent boulders hunting for crunchy leaves and big sticks. Ahhhhhhhhh.....

Thanks for the invite to your blog. I am feeling a little guilty after reading about the organic veggies and even the cider doughnuts sounded healthier than the pounds of candy my kids downed tonight at the trunk or treat! I love your blog and it is fabulous to hear about your adventures in the city.
