Down A Country Road


Today was the perfect moment to take a ride
down
a country road to buy an orange tree .

You never know what you will find
or
what will have to come home with you at a small town
Farmer's Market .

Along with the perfect orange tree ( oh be still my heart )
new potatoes and fresh green beans
honey
hummus and pita bread
fresh cream and chocolate croisants
came home with me !




Oh ! The Texas Longhorn stayed right where it was !

I wonder what would have come home with you ?

  8. Dottie, everything would come home with me too - except the orange tree.
    We have the wrong climate to grow them in my area!
    But I love the heady scent of orange blossoms and miss it where I live now :-)

  15. Someday I want to have a fruit tree or two. Nothing like fresh fruit picked by your own hand. :) Everything you came home with sounds perfect to me. Great simple pleasure!

  17. It sounds like a perfectly wonderful outing to me, Dottie.

    I would have brought home what you did.
    EXCEPT I would have omitted the green beans and substituted broccoli.

    Fun simple pleasure!

  18. I wonder how heavy those horns are, they look cumbersome don't they? Looks like a lovely spring day in your part of the world.

  20. Well sister I know what I'd come home with if I visited you at your house and that is Miss Addie. I feel a trip to the Goodwill coming on, cause we're getting all our seed planted by this weekend and someone will need to watch over it. Hugs, Mollye

  23. I am not sure what I would have come home with, but I can assure you that it would have been too much. When everything looks so good and fresh it is hard to resist.
