To market! To market! To buy.......?

some flowers...









or soaps...







or snaps...



or breads...







or granola...



or eggplant...



or stinky garlic...



or tomatoes and basil (what a combo...can you smell it now?)....



or coneflowers and other sorts of pretties for the yard...





or (of course) cantaloupes and melons...





or even radishes (I'm still not so sure about those things!)...but they are so pretty...



or potatoes...



or just head out with a box full of goodies like this guy...



Have I made you want to stop by yet?



I mean...look at all you can buy grown right here locally!!



Don't you just wanna come out and see all the cute kids and dogs and visit with your neighbors?



Isn't that what the market is about? Finding a sense of community..creating a place where people (and fur children) can gather with one another...



Every week my Mom's friend, Laura, brings her a jug of sweet tea and we also get lots of books she hunted up for us at yard sales!! Isn't that thoughtful?



And...Charlie just looks for Emma! It's like he is mesmerized by her! Aren't they a cute couple! I saw they are headed out for a night on the town...he in his tux and her in her evening gown...



At the market...it's all about the dogs!



Can you tell?



And...speaking of animals...

I wanted to share with you the thank you note from the SPCA!



Ms. Brown came down on Saturday morning to personally thank us (and that means all of you) for the generous donation to their organization! THANK YOU for caring! Little things do make a difference!

We'll see you on Saturday at the Market! Be there or be square!!!!!!



Ruff! Ruff!!

The latest...

This is Dynamo with his cast...



So, what do you do when you can't ride your bike? We catch up on chores and relax a little bit. Or, start working on the "honey do list" with one full functioning arm. More on the projects later.

Dynamo joined us recently on Friday night while we cut flowers.

Here is mom's flower patch...







And, the prized sunflowers...







And, Lexi is in charge of manning the finished bouquets in the garage as they cool off...

Flowers and Fun at the Petersburg Farmers' Market

Here are some photos from last week at the Petersburg Farmers' Market! Mom and I grow and sell fresh cut flowers! She grows the majority in her backyard flower patch and Dynamo and I grow a few in raised beds at our house! We call ourselves "The Flower Patch."













We sell mostly by the bunch, but occasionally have flowers for purchase by the stem! We have various sizes of bouquets and assorted flower varieties. If you'd like to come visit us we'd love to have you. We're at the Market beginning at 7 a.m. on Saturdays. The Market is located under the Martin Luther King, Jr. Bridge next to the train station in downtown Petersburg. It's a busy place on Saturdays! You can find lots of goodies including bakery items, plants, honey, veggies, soap, and lots more!

Here are some pics of other goodies!



I don't even eat these beets, but they are so photogenic!



Lots of tomatoes...



Squash galore!



And, okra...



Mom and our "neighbor" Joyce love to chat!!!



Happy Thursday!
