Always makes me jealous. No market like this on my neck of the woods.

Yummy.

In my cultural wasteland, these pics are a respite. But, tomorrow I have no-bake cheesecake planned with Tillamook cream cheese! So there is that.

They are hardy and grow all over my little town. I love them, especially when the buds first show up.

I’d gain 50 lbs if I visited that market every week.

Beautiful colors and subjects, as always!

Well, I do go every week, but I exercise a little self-control. Lots of photos but I rarely bring any home.

I've worked too hard to get my weight down!

Thanks for your very kind remarks!

I love all the flowers and the colorful array of vegetables, and the scrumptious looking pastries. The first one, the wall with all the plaques, is very pretty, too. That market looks like loads of fun.
