I went to a new local farmer's market on Sunday and it was pretty good.
There were several vendors down there and we hope for more. The crowds sure showed up. It was nice to run into so many locals that I know. There were 4 people from my coffee group to start with. Then there were many that I hadn't seen in years. I even saw a few of my senior computer students. It always makes me happy to see them out and about keeping busy and enjoying life.
The first thing I grabbed were some organic free range eggs. When I had some for breakfast the next day I cracked one open to see two lovely yolks in the one egg. Mmm mmm good.
The bread stall had run out of nearly everything that day. I was lucky to get a baguette and a multi grain loaf. There were also pies and jams and jellies. Pickled asparagus and beans.
The one vegetable stall sells fabulous garlic and they were giving every customer a free giant clove of the hottest garlic I have ever tasted. I loved it scrubbed on some toasted baguette with some brie cheese.
This area is built along our river front. The town homes were built in a brownstone style and when it all grows in it will look lovely.
I had planned to open a gift ware store down there when they first started building the area but they got bogged down for years and I decided against it.
Too bad though because it is an interesting area for sure.
Look at the petunia that was growing in a pot outside the florist's shop. I have never seen one like that before.
There was also music, a clown for the kids, lots of dogs. I look forward to the next one.
