The Farmer's Market

This morning we went to Lexington's Farmer's Market. The farmers and vendors set up their booths and tents around the old courthouse while their trucks are backed up to the sidewalks. There are a variety of individuals and small groups playing instruments and singing, with their musical cases open for donations. We saw and visited with several friends. This is a regular Saturday morning journey, and it is one that is greatly enjoyed. It is a delightful effort to support the local economy. We came to the house with homemade pasta and bread, which were made by a young couple both of whom have Spanish fathers, Italian mothers and who grew up in South America. We also brought home a baker's dozen ears of corn, some squash and a Casey County cantalope. Tonight we enjoyed the homemade pasta with just a touch of olive oil, fresh bread, along with a couple of ears of sweet corn. Doesn't get much better than times such as these.
