An Autumn Trip to the Farmers Market

Saturday, we made a morning visit to the Downtown Farmers Market.  It always surprises me that in October the traffic there usually slows down, but autumn is when the most bountiful harvest arrives!

I love strolling along on a cool fall morning with my camera in hand, just observing.

Pumpkins do make me happy:)

There are all kinds of things there that I can't eat.

Oh! But so many that I can!

Happy farmers make for happy eaters:)  This handsome fella had the most gorgeous zinnias and basil.

And this happy guy was "tempting, not sampling" he said, the most delicious peaches.  I have a weakness for summer peaches, and Utah has the best I've tasted.  My freezer is full of peaches now; my fridge is full, and I bought more on Saturday, because I couldn't resist.

We listened to some lovely folk music by the Folka Dots, a marvelous group.

  1. Gorgeous!! Through a refugee and land grant situation in the 70's I don't really understand, virtually all flower sellers at our markets are Hmong. I forget not all markets are like that :). The peaches sound amazing!!
