A Sure Call for Celebration...


...a bounty of stone fruit at the Greenmarket today!! ^_^

The summer heat is quite draining (hitting the high 90s this weekend), but that didn't seem to stop the usual Saturday afternoon crowd at the market.

I purchased a bottle of water from a man circling the market with a cooler full of ice and Poland Springs. Curious as to how much water he could sell on this sticky day, I (discreetly) trailed him around for a bit. In no more than three minute, he sold nearly twenty bottles! Not too bad, eh?

The purple and yellow plums I purchased were a slight let down. The scent was wonderful and the vibrant colours positively mesmerizing, but a simple touch revealed a basket of overripe fruit near the point of mushy. I'll have to be more careful picking the fruits next time around.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend :)
