A Southern Accent

Growing up, we got our fresh fruits and veggies from our garden, or my grandparent's garden. Now that I live somewhere I can't have a couple acres for my garden, I realize that the rest of the world gets their fix at the local farmer's market. The Durham Farmer's Market is one not to be missed. Filled with local vendors, sweet and savory goodies and scents from heaven, you can spend hours there just looking at everything. Some of my favorite vendors are Angel's Nest Bakery, with their wonderful baked goods and sweets that always sell out, Lil Farm, with beautiful vegetables and flowers, Emma's Desserts, serving fried pies and tarts and Sunset Ridge Buffalo Farm, which has wonderful sausage and steaks. Walker loves it too. I give him his own money and he picks how he wants to spend it. Typically on a cookie on a stick or a cupcake, then lemonade and whatever else he can squeeze out of his leftover change.  This past Saturday included a cooking competition...

My little man passed out in the car around 5:30 this afternoon and is still sleeping, so thought I'd post a couple of pics from our day. We love going to the Farmer's Market this morning and since the hubby didn't have to give golf lessons until noon today, we all piled in the car - little man, Lulu the pup and hubby. We picked up some yummy bread and butter pickles and some banana butter jelly - the lady said children love it with peanut butter! Of course, my little man got his favorite farmer's market treat - sugar cookies! Looks like everyone's squash is starting to come in, and there were lots of potatoes, cabbage, a little corn and fresh flowers everywhere! You can always check what's in season at the Farmers Market online here . It's a great resource if you're not familiar with the growing seasons.
