Wednesday was the last day of our local farmer's market for the season. So, with my camera and empty market bag in hand I took off   down our street on this extra, special day.  The temperatures were cool and the warm sun was shining,  making the  beautiful colors of autumn stand out in all their glory!  I waved to my neighbor's across the street as I passed.  This is "Gimer," a sweet, strawberry blonde, neighbor cat that pokes his head out to say hello when I walked by. I love kicking the leaves whenever I walk through them!  What a perfect day it turned out to be for the last day of the market.  Everyone was out.  Some, like me, were simply enjoying the atmosphere.  This market had a "different feel" to me.  Maybe it was the pumpkins,  the colorful leaves, the "free" ho...

Every Wednesday now,  it's become part of my regular routine to  walk down to the  Farmers Market. This time of year you can find a market everyday of the week. Fresh fruit and veggies. We've even been trying vegetables we've never even heard of before and  enjoying them in our salads.  Always beautiful flowers... ...and music! The market vendors, like this one at a floral stand, working hard at bunching beautiful bouquets, making them hard to pass up!    I love the natural textures... burlap, wooden boxes and crates. ...Homemade jams and pies... ...and of course this time of year...lavender. Bunches and bunches of lavender! Some vegetables in a variety of colors I never even knew existed. There's just "something special" about walking home with you...
