At the Farmers' Market

Rainbow Bevy of Peppers... an explosion of color rivaling fall's splendor.

Last week, I went to our Town Farmer's Market with my neighbor. Fewer stands were there than in high summer. And we arrived toward the very end. But different than in summer, the vendors were not rushing to pack up their wares as intently when noon approached as they had in previous months. The cool crisp air, wispy Simpson's clouds, golden sun contributed perhaps. But in further thought, I realize, there are only so many Markets left this season before winter. This was in essence the last full month, the final few weeks of the year. Perhaps they, like me, are trying to make it last. Are savoring this last moment before winter.

Shallots, heirloom Bi-color Green Sausage Tomatoes.

Mexican (or Lebanese?) Green Globe Squash, Sunburst Pattypans, bright yellow Golden Zucchini... among the last of the local "summers".

Both Black & Traditional Cherry Tomatoes, Garlic, Shallots....

I made some purchases... let's see what I can make of them!
