Late October at the Market


Today was a picture-perfect day at the Farmer's Market. The early morning fog had burned off completely by 9:00 AM and the sky was a lovely clear blue. Even thought we didn't need anything in particular at the Market, it was just too perfect a Fall day to stay at home! Once again, there were large, stunning displays of Winter Squash.


This clever flower vendor used an assortment of squash and pumpkins as vases. A perfect seasonal centerpiece.


Another special Fall treat - Apple Cider. This vendor was handing out free samples - it was delicious!


I loved this display of cauliflower. All three colors stacked together.


Many of the stalls were selling long stalks of of brussel sprouts.


And there were many, many different apple varieties to try. Liberty & Jonagold seemed to be the two most popular.


There were at least three stalls selling mushrooms. These were labeled as Golden Chanterelles.


And more Winter Squash. You can tell what I love the most! I was also impressed with the size of the pumpkins, pictured below. The vendor assured us if we purchased one, he would hold it at his stand so we wouldn't have to walk around with it. I should hope so!
