TY for the vicarious vaca to civility!

My pleasure, always.

So needed

I'm glad I filled a need for you today.

It's the Chaupain Artisan bakery. They have several outlets here in SoCal, which I have never seen. But they come every week to our local farmer's market.

Are the dark ones in shadow, or are there purple beans I don't know about?

Glad to see you're out & about! 🏃‍♀️

👋

Depending on the locations and weather conditions of where they’re grown. Even the pastry treats are more tempting at your farmers market than they are here..maybe that’s a good thing!

Some of them are truly purple! And some are green. This market is well known for crops that you don't see in the "standard" grocery stores.

It's always great to be there, especially when I get a great parking place out on the street! It's been very rare this year. The walk is much shorter and easier from there.

I like to put a mug of milk in the freezer until it gets a crust of ice of the surface of the milk - then it is delightfully extra cold for washing down a bite of a scrumptious confection.

That sounds truly yummy!

I would be having one with ice coffee. Yum!!!

This image features a white lily flower with distinct, dark-colored stamens prominently displayed in the center.
White lilies such as this are often symbolically associated with purity, renewal, and rebirth.

I like symbolism.

Thanks again Peggy!

I too like symbolism.

You're welcome!

The vegies and flowers calmed me down.

And I'm glad everything worked out as beneficial to you!

I have been living with type 2 diabetes for 36 years. Not eating sweets is the one place I have very good will power. My late wife loved sweets and as I loved her, I would look of goodies for her.

I really enjoy your pictures especially the still lifes in the markets. Seeing them again after your recent surgery makes me happy that you are able to do what you had been. I hope that made some kind of sense.

My recovery is glacially slow, so I am very grateful for my ability to get photos like these.

You realize, of course, that I am now needing to make a side trip to my favourite patisserie in the morning. . . .profiteroles, eclairs, croissants, operas.. . sighhhhhh. And, fortunately, there is a wonderful flower shop next door. The peppers, alas, will not be available for at least a month, or six weeks (provided no hail, and no more fires!!! ).

Such joyous beauty on this full moon day.

I hadn't realized that these pastries had such an effect on you. But it's all good!

Enjoy your pastries from your favorite patisserie! And the flowers from the wonderful flower shop!

Bringing joyous beauty is my goal! Thank you for telling me of my success.

The pastries, are so fresh and colorful. I am always impressed by the variety of perfect produce and the flowers. Thank you Peggy, your photography is food for the soul.

I am deeply touched by your beautiful words.

Thank you!

Your photos are always so full of such

gorgeous color! The pastries looked

yummy, but this time the purple green

beans caught my eye. Never saw beans

that color. Lovely!

I hear you about the purple green beans! I was astonished at the color. I had to get that photo!

Everything looks so cool and fresh. Maybe because we are melting in 97 degree heat today. I can just smell the aroma of the flowers!

Whew! You're really in a heat wave, and so early too.

Our vendors know how to draw people in so they'll buy.

Try to stay cool!

those, what I call straw flowers. Not sure that’s what they are called though. Such pretty colors!

I love those straw flowers too! They really caught my eye.
