SLOW MARKET, BEAUTIFUL DAY

I was awake this morning before the alarm wondering why g-son was so late getting here ?  It finally dawned on me that it was Saturday but I still couldn't go back to sleep for that extra 30 minutes.
We made it to market with time to spare after the earlier than usual start.
Market business was slow again today. I think I may have actually done a little better Thursday than today. There was a good crowd of people in there but no one seemed to be buying anything.
We had plenty of entertainment with all the kids there today.  My candy selling neighbor had her granddaughter, d-in-love and g-son came by and g-son wanted to stay of course and Evy who is now a regular "marketeer" was there. They all three played well together.
 Evy loved her new friend,Annaleese.

After market g-son and I went by Wendy's and had lunch, Aldi's to pick up baking supplies and a local farm outlet that just opened yesterday with fresh vegetables.
My special turnip !!!!!!!
I bought fresh strawberries, cantalope and tomatoes, yum yum.
These are our first strawberries of the season and they are surprisingly sweet. I feel a strawberry shortcake dessert coming on tomorrow !!!
We had the cantalope tonight and it was very good.
After dropping g-son at home and unloading the van hubbie and I vacuumed and mopped all the floors since I haven't had a chance to get that done this week.
After evening chores I took a nice walk on this wonderful warm evening.
This Azaelea  seemed to have bloomed out overnight.
Love how the evening sun reflects off this old dead tree in the lower pasture.
There is starting to be wild flower color along the creek bank with these bright yellow daisies.
And there was a big patch of these white violets that I have never seen before blooming.
The "drought rock" in the creek had plenty of water running over it today.
The nice green moist pasture was a feeding ground for Robins this evening as first there was only one.
Quickly he was joined by a flurry of landing red breasted beauties.
It was also feeding time for this pair of Mallard ducks along the creek bank.
As I walked I thanked God over and over for the beauty He created and for His wonderful care.
I headed home for a restful evening as the setting sun reflected in the eastern sky.
Good Night and God Bless.
