Finished Pumpkin Book Project

The Pumpkin Book is finished...

(or do you call it a book pumpkin?)

and because I'm terrible at tutorials

you'll have to visit  HERE to get the tutorial from my daughter's perspective. 

and since I'm finally getting in the FALL 

feeling, I went to the Pumpkin Patch yesterday and 

gathered up a few pumpkins

and since I gathered up these very fine pumpkins yesterday,

this morning I set the goods out on the kitchen table

see that metal can, to the far right, with the lavender in it?

 It's the old milking can that my Grammy used for goat's milk 

when she was a young girl

Lovely, isn't it?

Our Local Farmer's Market

Just about every Saturday morning we head out to our local Farmer's Market downtown. 

Usually it's all of us together, and it is starting to turn into a regular family 

get together. Living in a small town certainly has its benefits. 

There is hardly ever a trip into town that doesn't involve chatting with 

old friends or making a new friend, and Farmer's Market is no exception. 

I decided on this trip to the Market that I would use my cell phone camera 

and take a few pictures. 

 Our local Market started several years ago, and was very small and not a lot of people went there. I wondered if it could really survive.
 Our small community has provided the support it has needed to thrive, and I am proud to be a part of that. 

This is just a portion of the homegrown goods available. There is just about every kind of fruit and vegetable you can think of, fresh and yummy. There are also things like eggs, bread, honey and olive oil. 

It's a wonderful way to support your local Farmer's.
