Woodtsock Farmer's Market

Where are we today ?

Plattsville Ontario

        Another nice day in the forecast. The weather guessers call for rain all day. Well we don't believe them. So after getting things in order about 9 am, we headed out to to the Woodstock Farmer's Market  it's been quite a few years and it was fun, we do love farmer's markets. Not like the bigger ones we have been to but each Market has its own personality.

        After visiting a cousin of Suzie's around the corner and dropping off a Genealogy she had compiled and chatting for a good long time, headed to the market. We enjoyed all the new vendors there and some great products they had to offer.

       Then inside we found some great meat products from the small local butchers.

nice looking beef (we did not buy any)

but we did buy some nice turkey burgers
and turkey sausage

then we saw these awesome looking, very thick
 smoked pork chops, just had to get some of those,
can't resist smoked chops, moderation right?

a small basket of new red potatoes

we did not buy and blueberries, but did get a
whole mess of strawberries.

real Maple syrup, but we still have some

       After all this fun and fresh meat we had to get home, early afternoon. A bite to eat for lunch and still not raining. So my plan was to mow some more lawn. About an hour later in began to rain, so back home to putter around for about 20 minutes. 

raining pretty hard for a few minutes

         Rain stopped, sun came back out and got some more lawn mowed. Hmmm, and another hour later starts to rain again. That's it, mower back in the shed,( only one acre left to do) Suzie picked me up near the back of the yard during the downpour. (Thanks Suzie!)

I was back by the white building when the rain began

        By now its 4 o'clock and sun shining again, but we can enjoy our books for a while, before the Weber Q gets going to grill a couple turkey burgers and two small taters.

turkey burgers and two tiny taters

         I had picked up two fresh buns at the bakery for our burgers, whipped up a nice spinach salad, with fresh  mushrooms, strawberries, cranberries, olives, red onion, flax seed, sunflower seeds, a bit more bean salad, we sure had a very tasty supper.

love that beeftseak tomato on the burger

very tasty burgers

        Just another fun day here exploring a bit more. Enjoying the summer here in Ontario.

        Glad you could drop by for a visit. Hope y'all come back again too.
