Heck we did have another wonderful sleep last night and Suzie got up before me at 5;30 am this is morning, amazing !
Got my computing and coffees done a nice walkabout down the road for a mile or so then at 9 am we headed into the Thursday St. Jacobs farmers market. a place we enjoy especially at this time of year, When the crops are in season and some amazing deals to be had. Not much we can take advantage of, but we sure did when we had our house.

Back home for lunch then I went to Camp Awesome 10 minutes away to finishing mowing the last 3 acres there for John. Just because I could and I enjoy it. 90 minutes later I was done, not a hot day but in the sun I was quite warm. Temp only 74F but I was quite warm so I hopped in the pool to cool down. and it sure was refreshing. Water temperature was 80 f WOW sure felt nice !

| 5 acres all done and a nice dip in the pool was wonderful |
Headed back to Dennis and Sandy's and see my sweetie again.

Back home I package the sausage for Dennis and Sandy's freezer. and prepped the chicken for tonights supper.

I used their Weber Q 2000 to grill the chicken legs and thighs on my grill mat.
 |
| this sure worked well tonight |
 |
grilled chicken, some taco salad and my green salad

Back home to relax outside and read for a while and finish this posting. No sunset in the making so I just wrapped this up and headed inside to join Suzie for a bit enjoying a show on the tube before calling it a night.

Where have we been this summer?
The grass is so lush and all the trees are so nice and green. That deck even has beautiful healthy plants on it. I know I mention this every time but boy that produce makes my mouth water.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a good summer, lots of, heat, sunshine and rain, everything growing well here.
DeleteThe produce is wonderful so fresh and reasonable right now.
Oh My - your Farmer's Market sure looks awesome! Nothing like that variety/quality in SoCal, I can see why you enjoy just walking through. Yard looks great after you groom it.
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky with so much wonderful farm land here in southern Ontario. a lot of people drive hundreds of miles to come to this market, every week something is new and different.
DeleteIt does always look wonderful when all trimmed .
Wow, that's some market. What a great selection of veggies! Colourful too. too bad it couldn't last longer, but we all know what's coming.
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful market and does go year round with lots of variety. Soon winter will be here and we will be gone.
DeleteThat is one fine looking market - maybe the best looking stuff I've seen.
ReplyDeleteThis is always a great market to visit and has been for many years, just keeps growing too.
DeleteNice trip to the farmers market. It was a pretty nice day out there to enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYes it sure was and a perfect day for it as well.
DeleteI can't get over the quality of the veggies in your pictures. Maybe you guys get all the good stuff and they send the crap to us in eastern Ontario.
ReplyDeleteEverything here is excellent, probably because we are right in the middle of southwestern Ontario's farm country.
DeleteAll those veggies YUM! It would be a hard decision on what to buy! Great day for mowing and a dip in a nice warm pool! Love the deck at Dennis and Sandy's the plants look incredible! Dinner too!!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful selections at this market it is hard to choose, what to buy,, not too much we don't like but are limited in our storage as you know. They do have a wonderful property here , a nice setting under the trees.
DeleteI don't think I've ever seen a market that big with that much produce! VERY cool!!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is the biggest and the best we have ever seen n all our travels.
DeleteGotta love the farmers markets, everything fresh and mostly organic. The lawn mowing job is excellent!
ReplyDeleteYes Peter we do love these amazing markets, wonderful food and pretty good prices as well.
DeleteThe lawn mowing is another fun thing I enjoy, looks so nice when fretting cut.
You don't need a garden when you have such a lovely market nearby. Such a wonderful selection of produce for great prices. I could just hear that steel band playing.
ReplyDeleteThat is right Contessa this market is amazing and so many roadside stands around here as well.
DeleteIn alway love hearing the steel bands.
