Blogging Lull=Farmers Market Trip

Yikes! I can't believe how fast the time is going and May is almost over. Unreal.

Although we stay very busy, there's not much new going on. Other than Devin growing like a weed. She had another allergic reaction of some sort a week ago. It seemed associated with a cold and she broke out in terrible hives. Poor thing itched and swelled, until we were prescribed a stronger antihistamine and a steroid.

She's all better now:)

Her new obsession is bracelet making. This week, she sat and strung beads together for hours at a clip. She asks me how to spell various names and searched for the letters. So, it's actually a little bit educational as well a workout for her fine motor skills.

Even with an early start, the Farmer's Market was crowded. Really crowded. Which is awesome for the vendors & it looked like people were buying quite a bit. Apparently, it was "Kids Day."

Or, maybe folks have seen this movie. We're ever so grateful for our farm beef:)

We looked at chickens and these turkey eggs.

Dev practically ran me over to get to this tattoo table. I guess a Jesus tat never hurt anyone.

There were several booths featuring hand-knit items. Devin chose a washcloth, it's too cute to use!

We bought some goat milk soap. Also, some natural orange cleaner.

As always, this lady's flower stand was hopping. She always has different stuff....this woman got the last of the Peonies.

Dev ate an organic chocolate chip cookie and we stood in a long line for a bottled water. Our goodies included 2 quarts of organic strawberries, red potatoes, snap peas, soap, popcorn, flowers, orange cleaner and a washcloth. A pretty good haul I'd say.

I was craving a gyro for lunch, so we went to our new favorite place:

Yay, you took pictures! That looks like so much fun! I was too lazy to get out to our Farmer's Market this morning, but your girl's morning looks like so much fun! LOVED Dev's outfit and her budding jewelry design talent.

Thanks Erin...I found that dress in a little boutique, but it was on sale last Fall!

Megan, you inspired me to take pictures:) We had such a great time today.

As a knitter, I must command you.... USE THE WASHCLOTH!!! (imagine a big booming voice coming from the sky!). I make those all the time. They are great dishrags. Those peonies were beautiful! Looks like a perfect day. Oy that Miss Dev is way too cute. Don't know how you stand it.

Shelly, I'm considering using the washcloth for washing people....but DISHES??? Have you gone mad?
