       Another great nights sleep so peaceful and dark here in the country thats why we love it here. One nice thing we enjoy wake up in the morning have to look out the window to figure out where we are. At 5 am was a comfortable 68 F and then suddenly the rain came down very heavy for quite a while. Hmm our plan was to go to the Keady Farmer's Market/ Livestock Market only about 15 minutes away, only on Tuesday's here in the summer. Uncle Clare was coming to the market with and came out to see us at 8:30, the rain had let up. Supposed to rain later though. So off we go, got to the market by 9 am parked close and no rain. That's a good thing though a few puddles around.
    We wandered around checked a few things here and there lots of fresh produce, meats, toys, baked goods you name it a good selection. And we supported this market quite nicely.

this be the place not real busy due to the rainy day
so much tasty looking fresh produce
peaches

field fresh Beefsteak tomatoes
amazing of course we bought some
yummy


Tasty summer sausage
Clare and Suzie 

not too crowded a good thing
we loaded up 20 lbs of potatoes Clare has
over his shoulder
lotsa clothes too
Clare is looking for a particular Tractor
flowers etc.
     Now was 10 am the the rain was starting to sprinkle, we got what we came for so going to head back home again.
time to go before we get wet
        Back home puttered around for a while Cathy had invited us in to join them for lunch too, So more tasty food and conversation.
here we are parked to the right of their house
these be their place, Clare travels all over for Crokinole
tournaments, they were in New York Last weekend. his passion
         After lunch I took a nice country drive around a few concessions just because i could and check out mire of this lovely countryside. West of here a few roads to Mount Hope and the old church there built in 1872. Not much here a house across the road and a large dairy operation across the street.
nice looking old church 
huge dairy operation here
      I cruised a few more roads around enjoying the quiet country drive and noticed these cattle below all in line heading out the field to what looks like a feeding spot.
looks so cool
      Down another road over this old bridge across a small creek , had been here for a long time.
This is where Clare and Cathy live a Pioneer community
      Back here to relax a bit outside enjoying a wonderful warm sunny afternoon with our e-readers. 84F with a light breeze was excellent. And I noticed Clare's cattle we closer the the barn here by the house. these are Blonde d'Aquitaine. Originally from France. you can read about them HERE . A french breed of lean beef cattle.
Clare's Blondes

you know it is a great day when Suzie is in Shorts
it was supposed to rainfall day
but only first thing this morning
        We headed inside to enjoy dinner with them their daughter Karen and her 2,  Ruby nd Ryan. They playing for a bit before dinner.
    Well we had another feast some of this wonderful Yellow corn we picked up at the Keady Market , a salad and pulled Turkey on a bun . what a tasty treat this was.
this corn is amazing like real corn should be
yummy tasty and Pulled Turkey,
they do raise Turkeys as well
   Them a bit of desert some squares and fresh fruit really did the trick today. Back home to finish this posting and relax outside on another warm evening reading for a while longer.
    That was our fun day here at the market and visiting family, out here in a great country setting on the farm. We heading on down the road again in the morning, newer places and old faces, don't want to wear out our welcome here.
      Thanks for stopping in and hope you enjoyed some great weather as well.

    1. It is a wonderful Market. The pizza is pretty good, very thin crust and light on the toppings so it cooks quickly
