Carpenteria Farmer’s Market

3 Comments

Thursday Afternoon – We, my wife and visiting friends from Canada took a stroll down the 800 block of Linden Avenue in Carpenteria, California. The weather was perfect and our friends, Alan and Jan, seemed to enjoy the day.

Below are a few shots I took as we wandered down the street, puntuated with stops at the brewery a few blocks away toward the beach and at the Cork Tree Bistro on the way back. It was a great evening.

Orchids - so beautiful!

I wish I could get my heirlooms to grow this beautifully. Jan had the green striped variety with her lunch on the pier in Malibu.

I couldn't resist - I bought three baskets! Yum

The colors and variety is a visual treat as well as nutrional treat.

Quiet Tuesday

I had hoped to garden some today but I took the day off. Early, it was warm and very humid. Mid morning, the skies opened up and really drenched my neighborhood. The busy hummingbirds too a short break but as the rained eased they flew. My wife asked about them flying in the rain – I told her their wings beat so fast that they don’t get wet….not sure she believed me.

I think more than anything I was just lazy today!

As the sun was going low I sat on the patio and snapped a couple of backyard shots that I would like to share with you.
