The Harvest

A few days ago I went to the farmer's market in a nearby suburb. I wasn't there all day, as I'd like to have been, and I didn't buy a whole lot, as I'd like to have done, but I did buy some tiny asparagus, some little cakes (to eat with ice cream and the blueberries I picked last week), and six ears of corn. Is there anything lovelier or more summery than eating corn on the cob outside at sunset?

Anyway, I took a lot of photos, but I don't like any of them (annoying how things always happen like that), so here are a lot of pictures dedicated to the loveliest of times, late summer!

I love the first picture and used it on my blog a while ago, too. But I couldn't find the original source, just tumblr. Thanks for sharing again and now I can finally credit the talented photographer. :)

i would say late summer could be lovelier, IF IT WASN'T FOR ALL THE RAIN.

(at least in most of northern europe)

i wish there was a farmer's market where i live! there are probably a lot in the outskirts of every city, but i can't be arsed to take the train back and forth as i have no car yet :( boo!

I love fresh food so much.

Yum, yum....if only your pictures were edible....especially all the apples dropped under the tree. That one reminded me of 'Hurricane Ivan' (in jamaica 5 or so years ago)...when we came outside afterwards, every fruit tree...mangoe, avocado, the lot, lay on the ground like this...we ate as much as we could! Lovely post & pics as usual :)

i love farm stands...though I'm guilty of buying more things than I can possibly use...just because it's all so fresh and lovely!

hope you enjoyed your little cakes w ice cream and blueberries...

Your blog post really relates to what my mom has been doing all summer... picking berries and making jelly for the Fall and Winter!!!
