Yesterday was a long day. We got up in Indy at 3AM Central time and ended the day in Seattle many hours later on Pacific time. It was mostly a flying day and a family day. However, we did go to the Farmer's Market Day in Renton. Not as large as the more famous Pike Street Market in downtown Seattle, but we have been to Pike Street many times before. Renton is a suburb of Seattle where my sister lives and their outdoor market day is every Tuesday.
I always love the buckets of flowers and watching them make the beautiful bouquets.
Simply gorgeous in all colors and types.
The finished bouquets sell for $5.
There were so many wonderful things to see and buy. Mike and I tried these Peach and Blueberry Squares.....yummmmm!
Look at all the breads!
I always eat raspberries while out here.
The veggies were varied and colorful. I'll just show a few of them.
I liked the way these cabbages looked, all purple and blue at the same time.
Assorted root veggies.
Squash blossomes....I've never eaten them, but had just read a recipe for them in our newspaper last week. Of course I don't have it with me.
Lovely round white onions.
And how about a nice Dungeness Crab? Not while it is looking at me!
This huge chunk of meat was cooking and people were lined up waiting to buy.

This huge chunk of meat was cooking and people were lined up waiting to buy.I had taken other photos around my sister's house of plants and things I don't see at home, but it takes 5 minutes to load photos on this Wifi hookup, so I may have to rethink my posting schedule while here.
I'm really sleepy....goodnight!

Mary,
This was such a great post. Thanks for making the effort to load pictures, even though your connection was so slow. Looks like it was a fun and interesting day.
Have to say the peach and blueberry squares, the breads, and raspberries appeal to this midwestern girl. Seeing all the beautiful root vegetables makes me hungry for pot roast. BTW, that is one enormous chunk of meat that fellow is cooking!
Sleep well! Hope your weather stays nice.
I can imagine how good the air must smell there with all those lovely flowers and baked things Mary. WOW!! WHat a wonderful place to do shopping.

Farmer's Markets are so much fun. Wonderful selection of photos.
Peach and Blueberry, does sound yummy. Like the colorful flowers. This is such a nice post. I never thing about photographing this type of adventure, not sure why I don't.
