what $10 bought

my "to do" list was added on as the day went due to my ill preparadness and foggy head..... here is the before list as i went out the house:

drop off brandon at school

go drop off a form the dds needs to sign for kindergarten enrollment

go to farmer's market

go home & make a card or 2

go back to pick up brandon



here's what really happened:

dropped off brandon

went to dds office; sat in car digging 'round my purse looking for the form

went all the way back home to get the form

go back to the dds office

headed to the farmer's market but wished i had my camera on this beautiful sunny day

went home to get my camera

went to farmer's market

headed home

finished 2 cards and then realized the time----- i was almost late picking up brandon!!











bryan more interested in digging around the dirt.












our yummy strawberries!




bryan's share....... i had only $10 in cash so here's the breakdown: $6 for strawberries, $1 for 2 pomelos, $3 for a bag of freshly made salted peanuts. money well spent to support local farmers!

also at the farmer's market was this strange looking fruit called atemoya. while watching bryan dig, i was sampling this & that. the sign said that is was a cross between a mango, and something else & something else [i forgot :-( ] it looked like an artichoke. it was weird in texture but tasted good. you can read more about it here: http://www.answers.com/topic/atemoya

Delicious!!! Wonderful fruits and veggies - and I loved the look of those strawberries! So divine Ivy!! have you ever tried star fruit or fresh persimmon? Really good too - takes a while to acquire the taste.
