Farmer's Market

First of all, I want everyone to know my blog page is acting strangely. I can't post pictures in the correct sequence, plus it's not letting me move them once they've uploaded. Maybe it has to do with this wireless here at this RV park. So the pictures are in the opposite order that they should be. We went to the Saturday Farmer's Market in Missoula, the one that Mom just loves. It was cold, 54 degrees, and rained on us while we were there. But then the sun came out and it was still cold, so we had a great time. Huckleberries are the order of the day here. They grow wild here, and they're used in recipes just like blueberries. They get $6/pound for them. And they smell so good as you walk by.

The woman in the pink hood is Mom with her walker. She goes to each vendor and talks with the people behind the table. Many of the vendors are Russian from one of the many Russian countries. They wear lots of colorful layered clothes and the women always a wool scarf. All the vendors here have small truck farms in and around Missoula. Their spring mix salads are just now producing! Yumm.

The Market has fresh flowers as well as fresh vegetables. Most vegetables are grown organically here. Many people buy a bouquet of fresh flowers for their home. Sweet Peas were in ---oh they smell devine!

The flowerbed below is one of many beautiful flower beds planted around Missoula. They also have colorful hanging baskets all over downtown. Missoula is called the Garden City.

I had to take a picture of the delicious cinnamon rolls we ate when we got there. They are beyond yummy. And sweet. But of course I ate mine with no problem.

And that's all the pictures I have for this post.

I've been busy sewing quilt tops, one for Berte and one for Nathan. As soon as I have borders on Berte's and the center on Nathan's done, I'll post pictures.

We went to the Book Exchange here so Mom could get a large print book and look at their books on tape. Alan and Mom stay busy reading. And we all walk every day--well I just started but they've been walking since we got here!

from sea to shining sea.....
