Saturday at the Farmer's Market

This morning we headed off to the Lane County Farmer's Market. We started our morning off with breakfast. I opted for a pasty from Cousin Jacks and bought a Pain au Chocolat from the Hideaway Bakery. After filling up our stomachs we walked the aisles. Since it is the end of May, peonies were everywhere. I particularly loved the peach & apricot tree peony blooms, pictured above.
Many farmers also had swiss chard. I especially loved the vibrant colors of the "bright lights".
I was amazed at all of the new potatoes that were for sale.With the record breaking rain that we had had this May, this is no small accomplishment.
Nothing says Springtime in Oregon like a two heaping baskets of Snap Peas.
Because it is Memorial Day weekend, we went to visit our favorite flower vendor. We picked two bouquets of vibrant iris, peonies and delphinium for the Grandparents. For the Great-Grandparents graves Mom decided on a softer color scheme, with white & pink peonies, iris, and lilies. Beautiful.
