Tuesday's market provided peaches (in the paper bag), yellow and green zucchini, green pepper, one scortching hot pepper, beets, and pickling cukes.

The peaches became part of dessert for the night.

Anything you want. But most importantly of all you MUST tell people how much I love you, and how much I smiled and how much we kissed in public. Oh and don't forget the meet and the reading bit. Since he said I could tell all, so

And so it begins again
