After a morning perimeter walk, I loaded Bear in the Jeep and we headed to town.<\/p>\n

The sun rose above the mountains, and lit the cut hay and wheat fields under low, dark clouds. It was a beautiful drive to town. I pulled over several times to let people in a hurry pass and so I could dawdle a bit and enjoy the light.<\/p>\n

I bought myself breakfast, shared a bit with the Bear boy and we headed to the Farmer’s Market. <\/p>\n

It is fun to arrive at the opening time with everyone fresh and ready to go. We were there 15 minutes early and people watched from a shaded parking spot until the 9:00 a.m. open.<\/p>\n

It is prime time for all kinds of fruits and vegetables. I walked the entire market looking and deciding what and from who to buy.<\/p>\n

I bought sunflowers from a booth that had sunflowers of all different sizes as well as displays of colorful flowers for drying – I didn’t know the vendor but something just called to me from this spot vs others with sunflowers.<\/p>\n

Cherry tomatoes and zucchini from Swallow Crest Farm, my down the road farmer. Julian and I exchanged neighborly news as I made my selection.<\/p>\n

Feta cheese from a Polson, MT cheesemaker. I live near the north end of Flathead Lake. Polson is 35 miles south at the southern end of the lake. I bought directly from Joe and he WAS wearing a Hawaiian shirt!<\/p>\n

The honey is from a vendor I’ve bought honey from before. I was the only one at the booth at the time and asked about the yellow jackets. He told me they were bad this year but I could drag nothing more enlightening from him other than to destroy the nests. Oh, well…the honey is wonderful!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sunflowers will brighten my window until I go back next week – I hope!<\/p>\n
