TO MARKET, TO MARKET


The sun is shining, the sky is crisp and blue,
and we went to the local Farmers Market.
Don't know about you, but I love our domestic feathered friends.
Decorative and generous, delivering a daily gift...


Fabulous flowers: Stocks, Snapdragons, Foxgloves ...
only seen during winter in our sub-tropical climate.


 I am doing my best to eat organic and pollution-free these days.




Sweet little bananas were grown on a farm just a 10 minute drive from our nest.
Which makes them a bit special!


 

I love the delicate and hesitant way a maidenhair fern shoots - pale brown and deceptive,
they will become lush green fronds in a few weeks.


After a 4 month enforced break, I am back hand-sewing again.  Yay!!
A bit of backstitch before the fire/TV is soooooo relaxing these winter nights.
Paris, I'll always love you ...

Michelle has been rather quiet on the fashion front lately.
(Could this be something to do with a certain Campaign?)



Patriotic stripes for 4th July - Cute!
And those abs!!  jealous ....


I hope your week goes swimmingly!

  3. Wonderful looking produce. I love being able to buy stuff from local farms, you know it's fresher and if it's been organically grown, so much the better! Cute little multi-coloured bird.

  5. It sure does not look winter-y at all anymore over there. I see no snow lol.
    So fortunate for you to buy local, fresh food.
    We are entering the berry season soon over here. Something local at last.
    Oh, forgot the potatoes. Could live by only eating them.

    1. No snow here :( But sometimes frost!
      Berries are wonderful, full of antioxidents. Strawberries are grown in our area, but other berries come from colder climes.
      Potatos - YUM!

  7. your site, satta king you need to be able to write well. This includes making sure that your articles are grammatically Play Bazar correct as well as engaging for the reader. By doing this the reader will probably want to find out more and will be willing to come back at another date.
