We met Ron and Meg downtown for the first Farmer's Market of the year this morning. There weren't a lot of vegetables or fruits ready for harvesting yet, but we did pick up some really good tomatoes, a cucumber and some baby spinach. Liam was very excited about a booth with air plants and cacti. He lit up when he saw pots of tiny Venus Flytraps, and asked if he could get one and pay me the $7 back. Of course I agreed, and he happily toted his new plant home in a small bag along with instructions on caring for "carnivorous plants."
I made two loaves of Italian bread from scratch when we got home to go along with the salad. The house smells wonderful!
One thing we had not been looking for at the market, or indeed anywhere or at any time was a deer skull.
A lady selling farm raised meat had this skull at her booth and the boys were very intrigued by it. They were discussing its finer qualities when the lady asked if they wanted to keep it. Of course they said they did, so we carried this deer skull around the market alongside our vegetables and Venus Flytrap. Life is always interesting with these two!
As she handed over the deer skull, the lady said, "Take good care of Joe!" And I'm sure they will!
