Fun at Farmers' Market
Today was the long-awaited season opening of the Ferguson Farmers' Market. Earlier predictions had been for rain but it was sunny and pleasant, about 60 degrees, when we arrived. Many previous vendors are back. We purchased organic green onions and radishes from Cascade Farms booth. We bought perennial plants--hardy geranium, coral bells, and a lovely red and yellow columbine--from another vendor. From a third we got two 4-packs of pinks and a pot each of cilantro and parsley. With our allotted $20 spent, we wandered around some more and looked over the new vendors that we will want to visit in the future, including a farm from Hermann that had soft spun wool yarn from their own Alpacas.
We always see someone we know at the market. Today we ran into Josh, a former student of mine who now works at the Post-Dispatch, with his wife Yoli and their three girls. Josh and Jadzia posed for me while Ludi looked away and Yoli was busy moving Josie's stroller so she wouldn't cry.
This little guy was riding in a market cart and was the center of attention for four ladies who were comparing notes on the shopping. There are always lots of dogs, well behaved, on leashes at the market. Somehow, we don't think we could get Ava to dress up like this to go out in public.
