Tailgate Market

Leave it to Asheville to have an incredible market that is actually filled with FRESH VEGGIES (!!)  A lot of markets around here have a few veggie stands and the rest is filled with craft stands, sweet treats, food, etc.  There were a few at this market, but it was overwhelmingly farmers with incredible produce.

Open year round (how did I miss this?!?!?).  You can purchase wooden coins to pay to make transactions easy.  Free parking.  I walked over and walked back to get my car.  Too much to carry -- such a delight to walk around.  I walked and ate cherry tomatoes and talked to lots of people.

I saw the local woman from the history tour too.  We exchanged 'hellos.'  It felt like a small town community event.

The most interesting stand was jars of SPELLS from the Wiccan society.  $25 a jar.  I didn't partake because what if it's the wrong spell lol.  I couldn't take a picture without seeming rude, but it's an interesting find -- never seen anything like it before.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the bowl of tomatoes is HUGE.  I bought 5 pints of cherry tomatoes (all from different stands).  Farm eggs that can sit on the counter.  A few big boy tomatoes and some cucumbers (I'm in a lull with my plants).




There was also a house plant stand.  These are low maintenance from the succulent family.



I'm planning to give this Bear Claw
as a gift, but it might be hard to part ways.

They look so pretty!
The 3rd one is on the big plant table.


I went to the teahouse and finished this book.  It was excellent -- top read list.  The writing was incredible and I don't say that often.  It was a read-every-sentence-carefully kind of book because it was amazing.  Beautiful book.  




Got home and ran to the library.  Here's what I got (not pictured is a travel guide for Ireland).


Spoken word from "The Moth"
My girlfriend recommended.
All short stories.


Started this first.  HUGE wait
list so I want to return it first.


Today is a homebody day hanging with the family.  I have a few more things to chat about but I'll save them for later.  It feels good to feel better.  The only lingering crap is from the medication side effect.  It's like a full fog has lifted. 

Hope you have a good Sunday.  Later gators.
