Farmers Market

   I got up early this morning so that I could visit the Farmers Market before heading into the flower shop. As I was almost ready to leave home Sarah stopped in and we set on the porch and visited awhile. It was a beautiful morning. The air was cool, the Cardinals were feeding on the corn feeder and the back yard had a few rabbits out feeding.  My two Mallard ducks, Darrell and Darrell were heading to the pond.You needed a sweeter to take the chill off. Sarah and I had a good time laughing and catching up on her week. I tried to talk her into meeting me at the market but she had some errands to run
   As I pulled into the parking lot folks were already buying fresh potatoes and lettuce buy the bag. I could smell fresh baked bread and hand made soap. I visited with a couple of friends who had purchased some soap and they were telling me how the one kind is good for removing soil stains from a hard day in the garden. We gave each other a hug  and I headed to the herbs and checked them out. I  made my purchase of bread and looked through the vegetables. I was looking for fresh fruit, I knew it was  a little early but was hoping to find some.
Lingering at each booth and checking out all the goodies is good for the soul. At one booth they were selling wooden items and a young man was playing his banjo and singing an old George Jones song and I began to hum to myself as he played. The morning couldn't have been any sweeter...
