Sunshine!

Early this afternoon, the dark gray clouds parted and the sun decided to come out.  It seemed like for days  we were living in cycles of of drenching rain, thunder, and dark gray skies.  You couldn't even see a break in the clouds.  I can't remember the last time I saw the blue sky.  It's been a bit depressing around my neck of the woods.  Today, the county schools were closed due to flooded roads.  A rare event especially when school started on Tuesday.  

There have been pictures of the area where water was everywhere.  A picture that caught my eye was a parking lot flooded with water.  Some cars were under water...I could see only the flat roofs of the cars.

The last remnants of tropical storm Lee had vanished.  Now, we have this:

The 12+ inches of rain was much needed here.  It feels good to be outdoors and in the sunshine.  It feels good to get some vitamin D.

Blueberry

That's the color I see when I look at my hubby's truck.  After taking several shots at different angles, I saw variations of the blueberry color.  Is that possible?  Yes, of course!  I tend to see different shades/hues within a single color.

Speaking of blueberries, that's what I currently have in my oatmeal for breakfast.

Local Farm Market

A quick post for today about a local farmer's market that hubby and I went to visit last week.  Buckland Farm Market.  We bought some peaches, sweet corn on the cob, watermelon, and sweet cantaloupes.  

Naturally, I have a sweet tooth and hung around the sugar aisle:

Look at all the beautiful colors!

Inside their bake shop

There's an onsite bakery.  More baked goods on display

Refreshment area.  Notice the metal wash tub...

...where these little baby chicks were keeping warm

They carried several different brands of honey, jams, jellies, salsas, sauces, snacks, and candies local to the area as well as produce from the local farmers.
