I Love Summer

Summer is here, the weather is warming up....A bit too much maybe; we are in the high 80's regularly now. But with summer heat comes the farmer's market. We have a wonderful Farmer's Market about 15 miles east in Alamosa. Many of the seller's are from New Mexico, and there are also some from the local area. But to walk through the open air market, listening to sounds and soaking up the sights and smells is what summer is all about. We go to the market about 7:30am on weekends; that way we get the best selection and there aren't tons of people.

One of our favorite stalls is run by local Amish families. They have fresh baked breads, rolls, pies, jams and jellies and coffee cakes; they are just heavenly. Dave and I would rather give our money to them than some big mass produced food chain.

So Saturday, we went to the Farmer's market and bought Peach Pie, Apple Pie, Cinnamon Raisen Bread and dinner rolls. They are so good!

We also bought fresh peas, tomatoes, onions, squash and cucumber!

All elements of an excellent Summer BBQ!

Here is a picture of our First of the Summer Farmer's Market visit....As the summer progresses, the chili's, potatoes and other veggies and fruits will start showing up! Stay tuned for more!

Have a great summer!
