Well, it's not a pick-up truck load...

 like some folks I know bring in daily from their garden...

Actually, I just think the colors are very pretty, well, and I appreciate the vegetables too, but it's certainly not the best garden I've ever grown. 

You may remember the year I went to the garden and was greeted by the giant sunflower with a pretty face looking down at me...

A closer looks showed it was just the bees, and I thought my sunflower had come to life...

Oh, and one of my favorite oddities in the teeny tiny garden was the leek that grew and grew and attached itself to my heart...

and I was there in the garden when the beautiful leek removed it's night cap, revealing a head full of tiny flowers. I've tried since then to grow another leek but with no luck.

Anyhow, I was up bright and early yesterday morning and on my way to the farmer's market. 

The fact that the weather is so very hot these days worried me a little, but I carried a small cooler filled with crushed ice.  There was an amazing breeze all day that blew through the big open doors, making the day seem much cooler that it actually was...

Not a good picture and my table looked better from the front. Just wanted to show you a little of the building, it's huge. Big enough for ten or more vendors on each side and behind each vendor is a large roll-up door. Lucky me, when I look out here's my view...

A small but beautiful garden, maintained by the Master Gardners at the market. Didn't make much Saturday, but had fun. Oh, look at this sweet lady trying on one of my bonnets...

The farmer in the green shirt came by my table, picked up a bonnet and asked, "mind if I let someone try this on"? She looks adorable, doesn't she. She bought a bonnet and apron from me the first time I was a vendor there. 

Good grief! 9:15 already! Poppy will be headed to bed soon. Guess I need to get up from here. I will leave you with Mokey again...

Yeah, he asked if I thought he would be a good ornament for the bird bath. :(

Thank you for visiting, oh, and thank you for the nice comments on my last post. Once again, I meant to get back and reply to each one. Time flies!

Love, Henny

This and That

Hey again dear blogging friends.

I know, I'm back way too soon. Guess I'm just needing someone to talk to.

Usually a walk through the garden, teeny tiny as it is, lifts my spirits. There's always something special inside a garden. Wait til you see what it was this morning!

So when we walked past the garden this morning, I noticed an orange colored sunflower and went back later to get a picture.

Little did I know, there would be a little sunflower face looking back at me...

 Isn't she pretty? 

I'm not having much luck with peppers again this year but the sunflowers are sure spreading happiness down Henny Penny Lane.

Actually, it was these bees making the funny faces...

Such a pretty orange color, and here too...

sure glad for all the bees. 

Mrs. Duck Duck and Wilder the Wabbit...we passed along the way...

Oh, several months ago, in a thrift store, I picked up this soap dish, thinking it would be perfect to hang over the old sink up at the garden... 

trouble is, I never got around to finding an old sink. 

So, yesterday Poppy put a screw in the side of the house over the outside faucet and hung my little soap dish.

-----------------------------------

Way back in April I started work on a handful of little clothespin dolls. You may remember...

well, it took me a while...

but here they are...

Certainly not the cutest ones I've made. With no craft shows going on now, it's hard to get interested in sewing.

Sure appreciate your visit. 

Love,
Henny

PS... We got rain this afternoon! Can't tell you how thankful I am. It has been so hot and dry. On Monday it was 101 degrees here, and in the high 90's all week...miserable! and dry!
