a basket from the farmer's market

 


A basket from the farmer's market.

When I was a child my mum always had a fruit basket on the kitchen table. 

Fruit was always an option if we were hungry at any time during the day.

I had the same when my children were young and I noticed while visiting my daughter

last week that she had a basket of apples on her table for her children.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

I tend to put a basket of vegetables on the table as well. 

Root veggies mostly since they don't need to be refrigerated. 

I think that they look beautiful and why should fruit have all the fun!

My favourite part is that everything (even the basket) came from the local farmer's market.

It's so important to support local farmers.

Healthy food - healthy planet - healthy us

    I need to get back to the farmers market. Thanks for the reminder, and for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2022/08/classics.html

    That's a nice idea to have a veggie basket on the center of your table. I appreciate the farm workers so much. I just recently went to a farmer's market with my daughters when visiting them. Sweet memories you have of your mom and the fruit basket she always had on her kitchen table. It's those little things our moms did that we remember the most. : )

    Wishing you happy days in September.

    I also keep a basket of fruit on the side counter: bananas, lemons, limes, oranges. I tend to keep apples refrigerated although sometimes when I have bright shiny empire ones I do put them in my white crock....love the look!

Abby and Hopie time

  ~ ~ ~ Abby and Hopie go to the beach. On Saturday my granddaughter, Abigail, asked if she could come to her Hopie's house all by herself. Of course, I said I would love that! Her older brother, Verne, wanted to go to a friend's house and her younger sister, Natalie, is too young to be away from mum for an overnighter. So...it was me and Abigail for the weekend. She wanted to stay 2 nights! I think she may have been slightly motivated by the need for some alone time and Natalie's late night crying. ~ We cooked homemade cornmeal waffles together for breakfast. When your grandmother is a Montessori teacher you learn to cut your waffles up by yourself. You can see the concentration on her face.  I didn't help at all! Verne's first day of Kindergarten! I drove up in the morning to watch him get on the bus! He loves it! On Monday morning Abigail and I drove back up to her house. My daughter, Hannah, came over with delicious donuts and Bonnie made a breakfast of bacon, s

 ~ ~ ~ A bit of reading material.  I've been collecting books again... I've almost finished Think Indigenous.  My daughter bought it as a gift for me but decided to read it first. She loved it so much it took her a bit to part with it. I am loving it as much as she did and have put it down almost all the way through  because I don't want it to be over.  Macro tex
