To Farmers Market, we go!

This summer was somewhat of a fail for Jo and I, as far as Farmer's Market went.  I was usually working on Saturday mornings, so we had almost no opportunity to go together.  Jo went by himself a few times, but I really missed our weekly bike ride down the Greenway to get fresh greens.

Oh, well.  I suppose sometimes you have to take what you can get.  We took the camera so we could document all the deliciousness we found.  Here's a little photo tour of our farmer's market visit...

Lovely, lovely flowers.  There's nothing better than a freshly picked, slightly wild looking bouquet methinks.

We love all the variety that is available at the market.  Check out the red and yellow varieties of carrots. 
Here's our humble Longmont Farmers Market.  We love checking out all the dogs that come to shop for produce with their owners.

A trip to Farmer's is never complete without stopping to smell all the awesome soaps.

See what I mean?
This hibiscus was HUGE.

But not as big as Jo's big head.

Here's a random stall.  Look at all those veggies!  Such bounty!



And more veggies.  We almost always grab some potatoes at the market, since we go through them pretty quickly at home.


Leeks.


Beautiful Dahlias.


A crazy beautiful mixed bouquet.


Tomatoes.  I will only buy tomatoes from Farmers because they taste sososo much better than the ones in the grocery stores.

Beautiful colors.

More beautiful colors.


And what do you know?  Even more beautiful colors.


Here's my man, showing that eating your veggies never looked so good.


Look at the intensity on his face as he places those carrots in the bag.  He gets really serious when it comes to carrots...he's not jokin' around, folks.


And one last random parting shot.
