This design resembles a Tarot card and when upright the owl is on top...
...turn it upside down to admire the smiling bat!
How did it get to be Tuesday already? As I am writing this it is pouring buckets. So for the Garden Party I'll go back in time to our lovely weekend and our wonderful Farmers' Market.
We had a picture-perfect weekend and with a 5:00pm football game Saturday, the Farmers' Market was bustling shoppers and looky-loos.
October is all about Winter Squash. I am always amazed at the different colors and shapes.
October is a month of abundance.
Lots of tomatoes and peppers.
And Mystery Veggies too like Celeriac and Rutabegas and Parsnips.
I am more comfortable with old standards like potatoes.
Also grapes, apples, pears and figs.
In the cut flower stands the Dahlia reigned supreme!
Who says a mid-October market is dull?
Look at all that wonderful color!
I was pleased to see three or four bakeries at the market.
I did not go away empty-handed!
What a beautiful Farmer's Market!! I wish we had some as nice as that around here. I wouldn't be able to walk away empty handed either.
ReplyDeleteI think the lemon lovelies on the baking stand would have tempted me:-)
