Pictures before the storm

Leo and I went to the farmers market this morning. Thanks to my sister Janice reminding me in her journal. I got some yummy things as you can see in the picture. I also got some hand embroidered dish towels, nice big ones just like the ones my Mom used to have. I bought them from a lady that still is making them plus quilts and other things and she is 83 now and is wondering how long she will be able to keep it up.... I told her I would think of her every time I used them... and thanked her too.
I also decided to take pictures of my yard as you never know what it will look like after a storm. They are predicting one but you never know. Things look nice now anyway and I won't have to water except for the pots on the porch that won't get any rain so thats a good thing.
I was thinking of going to the zoo but I will probably wait until another day ~ I might melt if it rains. LOL 
Hope everyone is having a nice week end.  Sandra

Hope you do not get a storm to ruin all your lovely flowers. We had so much rain yesterday my big red poppies are all battered and down and my foxgloves have taken a pounding.  Love Joan.

Oh I absolluetly LOVE your patio!  So nice.  And your gardening is always so lovely.  It's about time for Hubby and I to make our annual trek to the Menonite farms and get veggies.  If we can stay home long enough to cook them and eat them.
