Farmers' Market Wednesday

Wednesday is Farmers' Market Day, where all the local farmers gather at the town's square to sell their produce, homemade bread, and other yummy treats. Last week Bruce and I went and sampled maple popcorn. This week he went straight to the maple syrup farm's booth and started eating all their sample popcorn. I decided to buy a bag before he ate all their samples. He shared the bag with "Unka Ben" and his cousin, Amaya.
Yum.

Bruce loves these little dandelion puffs. He likes to pick them and blow all the seeds off. He brought this little dandelion over to show Uncle Ben.
But just as Bruce was opening his mouth to blow the seeds off...
...Uncle Ben blew them in Bruce's face!

Yuck. Mouthful of dandelion seeds. (See Ben laughing?!)
I think I was laughing too. Again, I can't help it sometimes.
Ben kept Bruce and Amaya busy while I took pictures and Grandma bought the farmers out. We eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies.
That's my mom on the left, chatting with a farmer and buying snap peas.
Yummy fresh produce.
Lots of maple syrup. And you thought it was only a Vermont thing...
"NO FARMS. NO FOOD."

The Farmers' Market is next to the local fire station, so Bruce checked out an old firetruck.

He found a caterpillar on a picnic table.
The caterpillar almost looks like a stick.

A comment from your last post--- Emily, you should most definitely get yourself a new doctor. You are a runner, and that's that. Good luck!!!!
