Hi again! I’m baaaack! I brought photos! You all are so much fun, thank you for the recipes and all the good comments. ♥ I liked “‘maters!” I need to print out some of those recipes! We got ‘maters by the way, plums and peaches too, corn, and lobster. I’ve never seen the Farmer’s Market so beautiful! I have about 20 min. to complete whatever I’m going to do here, because Joe is boiling lobster water right this moment. And I definitely brake for Lobster. So here goes . . . First off, the ‘maters!

Every kind, heirlooms too, all vine ripened. Everything was so colorful today, look at this below . . . just back your truck up and you’re ready to go!

Our farmer’s market is traditionally held next to the old Ag Hall…

Yes, please!

We’ll take two of those in the basket to go!

Irresistible, kids hovered over this one!

Sweet peas, my favorite flower, I wish this computer was scratch and sniff, just this one time! Sweetest smell in the world.

Rhubarb!

Honey too . . .

Weigh your things the farmer’s market way!

Fresh and beautiful, such a country we live in! Lemon thyme, nasturtiums, basil, squash blossoms, every wonderful thing. ♥

And then this, milk with the cream on top! My cup runneth over!

Some of what we got . . . and now, you know what . . . gotta go! Happy weekend girlfriends. You light up my life! ♥ xoxo Susan

Hi girls! I’m going to Farmer’s Market this morning — are you? What are you getting? I’m hoping they’ll have tomatoes. The inside information is that there’s going to be a bumber crop on the island this year; I’m hearing they are ripening fat, red, juicy and delicious, and as I like to say to Joe, “I’m gonna git me somma them.” I wait all year for summer-vine-ripened-in-the-garden tomatoes. Because I love to make this recipe:

Maybe the most delicious and useful tomato recipe I make all summer; looks cute sitting in the sun in a glass jar; quite decorative and industrious looking, as if I’m actually doing something. ♥

I’m taking this with me . . . because . . .

And I’ll bring back photos for you. It’s dawning bright and beautiful. I already ate a little homemade cheese blintz, hanging over the frying pan in the kitchen. Because later on I’ll be starting to write a new Willard and I need my strength. ♥

I’d love to hear some of your favorite tomato recipes if you’re in the mood. I’m sure I’m not the only one… we can have show and tell! And if you have my Summer Book, look at the Baked Tomato Salad on page 56 — make it this year, you’ll love it.

Talk to you later, have a wonderful day xoxo love and kisses from your friend and Girl Kitty’s mom. me (I had to say that, she’s sitting right THERE). 🙂
