The Farmers Market

The sun shone as my husband and I drove downtown to the Farmers Market. Lots of people out and about, so we parked by the historic old church and walked for several blocks. We crossed the brick road and entered the market. We looked at cedar flower boxes, some rectangular and others for corners. We paused at the orchard table, purchasing an apple fritter and bottle of apple cider to share. We stopped by some hanging baskets and bought some pink and white impatiens. I couldn't resist the smell of the sweet basil and bought a pint of ripe red tomatoes. My mouth watered in anticipation of sweet basil, sliced tomato and feta cheese on a bagel. Coolers of iced fresh and smoked fish caught our eye! We bought one-half pound of whitefish. Photographs of historic city sites interested us! My husband found a framed print of the Arcade. A print of two fisher people in a boat interested me. It will be framed and ready in a week or so. A delightful visit to the market. A welcome distraction from the aggravations and disappointments of the branch flower shop move .
