I enjoyed looking at your farmer’s market. Two weeks ago we were at the Ferry Building farmer’s market in San Francisco and I bought some luscious cherries. While we were away it must have rained as our planters look good and our basil has grown a lot. It will be another warm summer. I hope you will be able to get away on some trip.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-81823395346387438392013-06-16T18:29:48.277-07:002013-06-16T18:29:48.277-07:00What a beautiful piece of knitting, as colorful as...What a beautiful piece of knitting, as colorful as flowers at the market.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28203207265144759.post-49016674462856027532013-06-13T11:20:25.509-07:002013-06-13T11:20:25.509-07:00Hi Frances,

I expect it looks even more attractive in your city. <br />I have just bought a large tub of ice cream, to go with the first locally grown strawberries and English raspberries , a must for me. Of course our weather has taken a turn and now rain showers and much cooler, we have a fire again today.<br />The knitting is very attractive, great colours . Wool and sticky weather not a good combination. We saw the sheep panting in the hot week, still wearing their fleece and must have been really suffering. <br />Hope you find the time to walk and enjoy your park and other green areas. Enjoy your cool drinks and icecream.

Splendid.<br /><br />A visit to an outdoor market with fresh produce from the farmers themselves, that’s delightful. How far do these farmers have to travel to get to the market? Somehow I can’t see ‘proper’ farms in NYC, but I may be wrong?<br /><br />Wandering trough a market is great fun, wherever you are. I enjoy it too; I also enjoy sniffing and admiring the produce for sale and am often tempted to buy more than I need.<br /><br />When you come I’ll take you to Ludlow Market. Small but perfectly formed and in a square surrounded by ancient buildings. Well?
