Saturday was a busy day for us. We were up early and out the door getting the vans packed up as tight as we could to take to our first farmers market of the season.

Here is our spot in the park. we have been in the same spot now for 3 seasons, which makes it handy for our repeat customers to find us, and find us they did.

Next to the picnic table on the ground was another 10 flats of peppers and tomatoes. We had a bit to take back home and unload, but thats how it goes.
I raised peppers and tomatoes to give away to any child who came through the market. I didn't have one child who didn't want one to take home. They were so cute.

I went around to the other booths and found this one. I laughed and asked if I could take a picture to post here. Would you do this?

There were a few new faces at the market this year. The man next to me took awesome wildlife photos and somehow had them "etched" in full color onto 6"x6" ceramic tiles. If he comes back again I will see if he will let me post a picture his stuff on here. It was BEAUTIFUL!!!

All in all it was a good day.Mostly because the sun was shining for a change. We came home to unload the plants and I had a few swallowtail butterflys floating around in the side driveway. There were 3, but when I ran to get my camera 1 flew away.

This was only 1/2 of my day, but this was the fun part. Hope you enjoyed stopping by again, thanks. Carolyn

Very entertaining blog, Carolyn... your stuff looks great! What a sweet thing to do for all the kids, too. The photo of the dog made me laugh too -- my first pet was a Boston Terrier, and my family had them all the way back to my great grandfather. He used to have the dogs' portrait taken!!! It must be good luck to find three butterflies, don't you think?

They had a vast array of the photos. Maybe next time I will be able to look at all the pictures. and maybe entertain you all with some new ones.
Hopefully an omen to a great season, with the flutterbys.

This is so nice Carolyn. For a moment I thought you were going to say no child took them home. I was relieved!

What an enjoyable blog entry. It is nice to see your tables at the market. I enjoy seeing things like this. Dooley as posted some of her exploits at markets and they were fun too.

Well done, and here's wishing every success for the coming market season.
