Farmer’s Market… in the time of COVID-19

Police tape surrounds the veggie & fruit stands in this time of COVID-19. In New York, we must all continue to wear a mask, social distance and use the disposable gloves the vendors have offe if you chose to select your own goods… On this beautiful Fall day all masked up 😷 I go early,

Life on Lockdown…

Wearing a mask it’s not easy for anyone…do it anyway!!! I saw a post on FB that read, “if you don’t like wearing a mask, you certainly won’t like having a ventilator”…truth!! A new routine…avoid all things people. Singing birds wake us early and insist we show up each day. Morning & evening walks down

Final haul…

from the White Plains Outdoor Farmer’s Market.  It was a nice 7 months of produce and fruit every week. Not seen in this pic is the large bunch of kale and 5 bunches of Cilantro. Last year I chopped and froze enough cilantro to get us through the Winter & early Spring. I will do
