A Good Day For The Market

Today is the day of the Farmers market down in Sedro Woolley. It's cloudy out and somewhat cooler than normal. It should be a good day to browse the merchants booths.

I'm looking forward to the market today. My mouth is watering already for the fresh melons we hope to find there! If we are lucky we will pick up some deliciously sweet
sweet corn. Maybe some crisp cucumbers while we're there, also.

Last year we ran into a vendor who made her own soaps. Wonderfully scented with roses and lavender. Ahhh..... my senses are already on alert. Got to admit I'm a sucker for scented soaps.

A few years back we drove down into Seattle's University district deliberately looking for a store that sold strictly soaps. I can't think of the name of it off hand , but we did find it. We felt like we struck gold or something! Soaps of different sizes, shapes, colors, flavors, and fragrances in every nook and cranny in the place. We left that shop $90 poorer, but we had great big smiles on our faces as if we had found buried treasure.

And boy did we smell good for months to come.

I'm really looking forward to the Farmers Market today.
