Mushrooms growing!
Delicate Spring blooms.
Before my felting blog threatens to become a travel blog...
...I'll end with our visit to the wonderful Ithaca Farmer's Market.
This market is a cooperative with 150 vendors who live within 30 miles of Ithaca, New York...
...and we found many wonderful things there to buy (or desire!). :)
Being that we were traveling and without cooking facilities...
...we had to pass on the gorgeous fressssh eggs, mushrooms and flowers. :(
I did buy some lovely jam, honey, apples, parsnips and cheese, though...
...and drank the best cup of hot cider I've had in years!
People who live close to a thriving market like this are lucky...
...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this locavore movement keeps growing and soon spreads to my neck of the woods!!

oh heather, fresh food is só good!
we don't eat it always, but our neighbours have a big garden and they sometimes bring in fresh tomatoes, onions, carrots, strawberries and so on. in return i cook or bake something for them.
the home grown food is so much more tasteful, love it:)
Great photos! Enjoying your travel blog as well as the felting. Thanks for sharing both!
Farmer's market is always my favour place to visit, to see the fresh and color produce is so pleasant.
Thanks, ladies! Yes..it was such a beautiful day and lovely market. We bought cheese with fenugreek seeds in it that was absolutely amazing, and I'm still enjoying it!!
Oh wow, that place looks fantastic.
