Market in Rain

The weather around these parts is changing a bit these days. Last night it poured off and on, and now there are gentle showers falling. Our garden says, "Yeah! Finally!" The Portland Farmers' Market is open at Monument Square on Mondays and Wednesdays 7 AM to 2 PM. This summer's bountiful harvest is on parade here in the sun or rain. As you can see, it's situated right across from the famous Time and Temperature Building. This summer, if you haven't got a garden to tend yourself, this is a good place to stop by and visit. Got a busy Monday planned. Places to go! People to see!

*Another bit of irony in my life came forth yesterday morning. This image was all set to go yesterday and then...
"Ah, What's up Doc?" This famous tagline of the nasty yet lovable Mr. Bugs Bunny came to mind, as I walked through the vegetables at Monument Square's Farmers Market recently. I would surmise that many of these will find their way to sumptuous Thanksgiving tables come this Thursday. Now, I don't even want to get involved in the 'discussion' of some friends yesterday, on something called Facebook, of which one tastes best: the baby-cut, plastic prepackaged, neatly trimmed, size- ready for salads, stews and dip, or these big babies. Nuff said. I know where my heart lies, and Brattcat, I did have Captain Kangaroo flashback moment when putting this together.
