Nice to run into Judith and Paul at the annual downtown farmers market. We always talk shop a little because we worked together in the ’90s. I was interested to hear she is back doing writing for our former colleague Kate, currently a principal at leadership consultancy SweetmanCragun.
Now about these pictures: Main Streets Café is always creative with their seasonal displays. I don’t know that I would think of lining up pumpkins under a bench. The squashes are from Hutchins Farm. First Root Farm’s display includes radishes, beets, and carrots. The chrysanthemums and asters were tempting, but the car was parked too far away for me to carry a big plant.
Finally, please note the funny vehicles the kids are racing. I include a close-up of several late-model vegetable cars. (Pick a squash; add wheels.)
Suzanne's Mom's Blog 
I finally met Suzanne! Stopped by the Providence Flea today, and picked up 2 charms and a chain for my daughter-in-law (celebrating the granddaughters). And then my husband asked her if she knew who won the vegetable race. She thought he was talking about this blog post, (but we hadn’t seen it), and said she didn’t know. He said, “Well, when we left, lettuce was ahead and tomato was trying to catchup.” Har-har.
Tracy, I was so-o disappointed to miss you! Would have liked to meet your husband, too. I was helping with the kids. We’ll make an appointment next time.
I LOVE photos of produce! It’s so beautiful, no matter what. But those cars–now that’s brilliant!
I wanted to play, too. I should have brought a grandchild.
