Sunset Cherries

We went to the Farmer's Market on Saturday.

I LOVE Farmer's Markets!
My parents helped start the market in Penticton, BC - which was weird that they didn't have one, but they didn't.
so the parents dug in with a group of other like minded individuals and started what is now a bustling mainstay of the Penticton Summer scene.

So I was very happy to see that the Farmer's Market is an anchor here in the farming area of the Columbia Plateau. So fantastic, so supportive to the local economy and just general fun!

We got some organic cherries and peaches from Tonnemakers, and some un-officially organic berries from the Mennonite Ladies that grow organically, because they always have. I love that, almost, more than if they got officially certified. Their insistence that sustainability is honoring where your food comes from year after year.
Something we should all put into practice.

So, as the sun set on yet another summer day...


the Z-man and I sat out on our back patio, enjoying the cooling air and the day's bounty.

 He had to include his foot in this photo. I love it!

 Ooooo he's quick!

I better stop snapping pics - they're going fast!!
 
Here's to you enjoying your bounty!
Have a great day!
:D
