A Nice Little Saturday

The Santa Fe tourist season is over and things have really slowed down here, thankfully. The streets are quiet and it's time for the locals to take back their town. Last Saturday I took a little walk down to the Railyard to shop at the Farmer's Market. It was a beautiful day.

I like this asterisk. I specially enjoy the cow sign on the bottom left. Never seen it before.

Some Farmer's Market signage. I've bought plants from this guy before. The cactus I purchased from him last year is just starting to grow another stump.

More signage. I didn't get one of these, but I'm sure they are delicious.

Local cheese. The best thing about this market is that you can sample almost everything. This cheese was fantastic.

Pan fried green chile anyone? People were stocking up on these since they won't be available soon. I ate a couple.

A giant sunflower.

First time I've ever picked off the seeds and ate them straight from the source. Yum. Not salty though. I like the salt.

Roasted chiles. I got some of these and have them frozen for use throughout the winter.

I don't like pretzels, but this local mustard was no joke.

The RailRunner rolled past the market and unloaded some shoppers from Albuquerque.

Mmmmmmm, Taos mountain yak.

This is the best goat cheese ever, and I don't even like goat cheese. It's fused with green chiles. I had to bag this up.

Winner of the best Farmer's Market outfit.

Eat local chicken!

Colorful corn. I love it. Shoulda bought the pink one, now that I think about it.

Yes, I tied my sweater to my waist. It was warm, should I of tied it around my neck? I brought my own Farmer's Market bag, what a hippie.

R2D2 Mailbox.

Local propaganda. Whoever this artist is, he/she is my new hero. I love this.

Nice hat/fro. Viva La Revolución!
