 A RUMPLED SUNDAY


After coffee, Stephen gave Shop Girl a lesson on his fancy camera. I learned a new term, Aperture Priority. It’s good to learn new things, but even better to write them down...


 
As the skies cleared we thought a trip to the farmers market was in order. I love to look at all the food and colors and people with their dogs.
 
  
This lovely gentleman didn’t speak much English, but he obviously loved his elderly little lady in her pink blanket. When he granted us permission to take their photo, I thought to myself, this man has a huge heart. Those Chihuahuas are always shivering and when I use to dog sit Isabelle, another Chihuahua, I would keep her snuggled up and close to me too. For me, there is something very comforting about taking care of another of earth’s creatures.



If you need a goat cheese fix, it’s a great idea to stop by the Blue Barn Farm booth for samples and a chat. The owners, Tracie and Jamie are very engaging and friendly. Their farm is in beautiful Zillah. I really appreciate all the photos they have of the goats. They will tell you about the mother goats teaching the youngsters how to open the gates. The Nubian goats that they have are noisy and curious creatures. Plus, they have those floppy, velvety ears that I adore!!

 
Our last visit before inhaling giant rolls of asagio cheese and scallions from the local French bakery, was, Selah Ridge Lavender farm. The products that Adele makes in her very own kitchen are natural and pure. So pure, in fact, I use the body lotion on my face. The fragrance is delicate, the texture rich and I’m flat out addicted to her lavender soap.


 
Well, another Sunday frittered away. I don’t know where the time goes but it was a glorious fall day. I suppose it could have been more glorious had I ridden in a goat drawn pumpkin coach whilst snuggling a lavender scented Chihuahua.
But, I’ll stack my rumpled Sunday next to yours any day. See you at the next Farmers Market! Sweet Dreams from Shop Girl.

PS, You can purchase the Selah Ridge Lavender Farm products
that Adele grows and makes at the Memorial Hospital Gift Shop!
