Living in farm country has its benefits. I remind myself of this when I’m driving 15 miles per hour behind a tractor on a two lane road. The little inconveniences are worth it!
I drive past beautiful farms on the way into town. Fruit stands are open throughout the summer, and our area is known for wonderful produce. People drive from all over just to experience the pleasure of picking their own fruit.
Early this morning Brigette and I were off to the Farmer’s market in town.
Every Saturday, throughout the growing season, the locals bring their fresh baked good, produce and flowers to sell.
Fresh Breads…
Fresh Pastas…
Cherries…
Carrots…
Fresh apricots…
Fresh beets…
Pails of fresh flowers…
Beautiful Gerbers….
These pink came home with me…
Fresh honey…
and the bees who made it! Brigette’s husband built the display case so we could all enjoy watching the bees work. It was fun to watch!
It’s amazing this little area I live in. Summer is the best time of year!
Have a great weekend everyone! I’ll be eating my veggies! Even Bitsy likes carrots but Chelsea hates them. Figures doesn’t it?
Hugs,
Anne
