buying fresh local produce

well as lili has been saying "winter is coming "

and with winter come "magic snowballs and snowmen"

in fact we might have our first "magic snowflakes" this week

and with the cold weather comes the last few saturdays of our local farmer's market

every saturday morning , except when I have been away travelling ,

I have gotten up early and headed down to the market , basket and totes in hand

to load up on some of the prettiest produce and the tastiest I can find

it was only towards the last few months that I decided my haul was so beautiful

that i should immortalize it in a weekly photograph

i think lilith

is influencing me

last saturday when she saw the string of lights in my living room she declared

"i love christmas oma"

Can you tell how far behind with your posts I was, and I love your blog, I've just been so busy.

These photographs have made me hungry. Stupidly, given that I live in a place where much good food is grown, it's often not available to me to buy because the local farms send it off to the city markets. I really must try harder to find a good source of local veg. Fruit on the other hand, with the fruit farm our youngest works on just down the lane, is easy for us to get :)
