Thursday at the Farmers Market

Hello friends! I'm hiding out up here on our cat tree. The VET was here on Tuesday and took some of my BLOOD! She ran some lab tests to make sure my little "problem" is not physical. My blood work all came back fine today, but I need to give her a urine sample on Friday. Blah. 

Our garden is in pretty sorry shape. We had some rain last weekend that left our Cosmos looking rather battered. So today, instead of a garden stroll, we are going to stroll in our local Farmers Market!

Our farmers market is every Saturday all year round from 8am - Noon. We are lucky, we live very close to the Salinas Valley, which is one of the largest agricultural areas in the US. It's nickname is "The Salad Bowl of America". We have many other farmers markets here in Santa Cruz county, but this is our favorite one and it's the closest to our house.

These beautiful green beans are also called Haricot Verts. (at least that's what our friends at Le Poupounette would call them!) Our Moms think they are delicious.

This famers sells all kinds of veggies, in all different colors. 

Fruits and vegetables are not the only thing at the market. There are also beautiful flowers, bread, organic meat, honey, pastries, eggs and cats for adoption! Mom will try to get some new photos this weekend so we can share more of our market with you. 


We had a heck of a time posting this blog entry! We use the "new" blogger and it is so frustrating when we are trying to add photos to our blog. It won't let us put the photos where we want, and everytime we tried to add a caption, the photo would move! Any other bloggers having issues? We're curious. (after all, we're cats!)


Have a most excellent Thursday friends! 


xoxo, Raymond
