The farmer's markets are back around here & yesterday we spent a lovely day at the Puyallup Farmer's Market, the first one I've been to this year & one of the biggest in the area...

| Street Musician |
 |
Filled with music: A local farmer, selling flowers & regaling us with this interesting, traditional musical instrument an erhu. There are two strings, the bow actually rests between & behind the strings...
|
 |
| The ever elusive sasquatch... |
Pretty jewelry & the stuff to make your own (love those aquamarine crystals)...
 |
| Fun handmade goods: Trios of wood cut woodpeckers... |
 |
Funny Aprons: I'm not an apron person, but maybe an "Ape-Ron..." Who couldn't use more sock monkeys in their life?
|
 |
| Local Baked Goods: Yum! |
 |
| Local Produce: It is a farmer's market, after all & what's fresher than locally grown produce? |
 |
| Fuschias: A Northwest Garden Staple |
 |
| Plants (& flying creatures)... |
 |
| Beautiful bouquets & the components for making your own |
 |
| Even the lovely plants in the park: Rhododendrons, another Northwest gardening staple |
Are the Farmer's Markets popping up in your area? What kind of local goodness are you seeing there?

I miss my LA Farmers Markets--- they were amazing.
That being said, I love that you share peonies. We just bought my mother peony bushes for Mother's Day and I can't wait for them to bloom next year (we actually won't plant them until fall-- apparently that is the best time to do so)...
