BETTER THAN McGREGGOR'S

The man and I took a little trip to a fairly local farmer's market.

It was smaller than those that I am used to seeing up in P'land.

But that gave it a quaint cozy feel...

centered around a nice bubbler fountain.

I was actually impressed at the lack of crafty things!

Or gizmos, sunglasses or blankets...

with wolves or fairies on them.

Most of it was stuff you grow...or that someone grew anyway.

This woman had spices and some smell pretties made from them.

She also had some decadent chocolate brownies.

The man was thrilled.

I got fresh kettle corn.

Yay!

I like the veggies and the flowers the most.

Only one vender sold food... Thai on a stick stuff.

Another had the only craft sort of thing...

These driftwood logs with holes drilled and planted with succulents.

The vendor wore a T shirt that said

"Of course you can, but you won't."

That made me laugh because I am one of those people who think I can do that myself.

He's probably right too.

Ha.

While we were there, near the library, the man wanted to show me this

 mosaic on the outside of the library wall.

Many years ago when his Jr was a little 5th grader,

his class won the opportunity to make tiles for this mosaic.

See... all the little animals are reading books!

All but one.

This American Bald Eagle...

we laughed because this was Jr's contribution!

Yep, the only animal not reading a book...

on a library mosaic.

Why?

Because he is watching over the other animals

and protecting their right to read!

I thought that was pretty savvy for a 5th grader.

=:)

There was one more very cool statue I'd like to share.

Hard to tell the detail,

but it's a rino with... 

a man balancing one handed on a pole...

and a bird perched on his feet.

We got some great veggies and strawberries...

And Farmer McGreggor and his shot gun were nowhere in sight!

Its Hump Day everyone...

enjoy!

Okay... it WAS Hump Day when I posted this!
That's what I get for posting so late in the day.
So...
happy after Hump Day!
