Saturday morning we opened our booth at the Farmer's Market.  This year the market is in the parking lot of Valley Bank.  It is always fun to visit with old friends and make new ones. 

I love the home grown meats, fresh produce, fresh baked breads, pies and goodies as well as some home made salsas.  Local craft persons show their new creations and non profits offer helpful information.  It is a fun event complete with local entertainment.

This morning we took a walk along the Madison River.  The wind was silent as we strolled along admiring the tall grass and beautiful variety of blooming plants and flowers.

Snow remains on the mountain peaks.  But, I noticed the water is clearing up.  In some places you can see the rocks.  Fisher persons are out and reporting the fish are definitely biting.

It was in the forties when we woke this morning.  We are expecting temperatures in the nineties early part of the week.

  1. Farmers' Markets around here are immensely popular. There's one in Charleston (SC) as well as in several slightly-smaller towns, including Summerville and Mt. Pleasant.

    Great photos!

  2. Hi Sherry. I bet your markets are awesome. Our growing season is so short we are limited in the amount and variety of produce but we are grateful for what our local growers provide.
