School starts on Wednesday, and I have been busy getting things ready. Last week we had a full schedule of trainings, so this week has been a real scramble to get my classroom set up for my projected thirty-two students! That is stressful on several levels- too many bodies for my desks and not enough time to prepare. On Saturday I decided I needed a little break, so even though no one could go with me, I headed off the the Salt Lake City Farmers’ Market.
There were a LOT of people with the same idea.
It was a warm day, but I loved looking at all the home-grown produce.
I wanted to buy it all. (The fresh raspberries and nectarines looked so refreshing, but I missed taking a picture of them.) I avoided the tomatoes since we have our own endless supply of them!
I did buy some “picked fresh this morning butter and sugar corn on the cob” (We cooked it at home and it was truly delicious!)
The flowers were tempting…
The pastries were a big hit with everyone.
The caramel bun in the lower right hand corner had my name on it-and it was worth the whole trip! They scooped up a big serving of the gooey caramel, too.
There were some fun places to eat lunch.
Live entertainment was playing on a stage.
The vendors were friendly. This nice man wanted to showcase his overalls! (I think he figured he would end up on a blog or Facebook.)
I had a great time wandering around looking at everything.
The market was just what I needed!
Do you have local farmers’ markets where you live?

P.S. Michelle, I just might go with you again on Saturday!
