I love Thursdays at the farmers market

     We had rain off and on yesterday.  Unfortunately we also had heat and humidity come back.  Dang, I so enjoyed the normal low humidity and cooler days we had this last week.  I look forward to their return.

     This heat and humidity did not go over well with The Curmudgeon, he had to turn the AC back on.  There went my allergies off the deep end again since somewhere in the one AC there is a crop of mold.

     At least there were breaks between rain showers where G and I could get out of the car and dash for the store and later the farmers market.  I absolutely need to remember to take a camera along one of these days so I can post farmers market pictures.  We have a fabulous farmers market here.

     As you walk inside, the fragrances of fresh, baked goods, smoked meats, pizzas, roasted peanuts, and fresh fruits caress you and tempt you from one stand to the next.  They dance before you and tease you to ask for a sample of this and that.  Once you’ve tasted you must buy….

     I brought home many lovely treats to have with our dinners this week.  Things like loaded baked potato salad, broccoli salad, and the smoked chicken Waldorf salad that we had for our dinner last night.

     You all have a good one.

Fresh Vegetables

No fresh veggies yesterday…but there’s always today

     Plans to go to the gym yesterday fell through. When I called G, no one was home.  I figured they were running very late at the grocery store.  So much for the gym, the grocery store, and a stop at the farmers market on the way home.  I thought maybe I’d do the grocery store and farmers market run a little after noon.

     Later on, after I got busy doing a few things around the house, I looked at the clock, and I realized that by then it was too late for me to go to the farmers market and grocery store.  I refuse to shop anywhere near three in the afternoon with all the mommies and their cranky kids and it was ten after three.

     I’ll go to the farmers market and grocery store today.  I need fresh veggies and a few other things.
