Yesterday,
Saturday, I went to the Farmers’ Market, located at Water’s Edge. I love
Farmers’ Markets. When I lived in California, I went to the Farmers’ Market
every Friday. It got so I knew who grew organic veggies and fruit, and I came to know many
of the farmers by name. So much nicer than going to the grocery store! This market,
though, has mostly plants – like a huge plant nursery!
I went with Lipton
and two of his female friends. As soon as we got there, the sky dumped a
torrent of rain on us. We took refuge under one of the marques. As usual, a
rain-burst in Sri Lanka only lasts a short time and soon I was out looking for
the exact flowers for my garden. A sweet, short rainbow helped guide my way.
My garden is
lovely, but full of green with just a small a dab of color. I want to see some
big splashes of color and so I was drawn to some cheerful zinnias. I love
zinnias. My mother had a coffee can full of zinnia seeds when we built the
house I grew up in. She tossed the entire can to the wind out in the back
of the house. Eventually the hillside was a blast of color. I loved her
carefree gardening. I’m not so carefree, but I do love colors as she did.
So, arms loaded
with new zinnia plants, we brought them home where they await the ‘perfect’
spot to be planted!
Yellow is such a cheerful colour!
Love these pink ones!
