What a day! It was nippy in the morning. I left the house without a sweatshirt and knew I'd shiver a bit. I was headed to the Saturday morning farmer's market. The local gas station showed a price of $2.99! The Democrat table was hopping and had some new Obama buttons. Apples were plentiful, crisp and wonderful. One grower has the apple varieties arranged from sweet to tart - a great help to me in deciding what to buy for EfM snack today. I chose honey-crisps and Yorks. Then I stopped by the goat cheese lady's table for my weekly dish of chevre and the jelly lady's table for a jar of pepper jelly. One last stop at the kettle corn booth and I was ready to leave.
That farmer's market is a real community. Buyers greet each other and stop to chat or wave as they make the rounds. The cheese lady knows me now and told me about her email list. The apple booth kids were lamenting the lack of a crock pot to make mulled cider for the chilly morning. The kettle corn guy and I talked over the college football schedule for today and wished each other's team luck... since we're not playing each other!
I headed to the car with my purchases and nodded to the driver waiting for my parking space. I'm going to miss the market when it closes in November!
Later on today I admired the fluffy white clouds in the blue sky over the autumn-hued leaves. Tonight we have a freeze watch. We have moved the tender perenials into the house. Ahhh, the seasons are turning. It's been the perfect fall day.
