It is entirely possible that the photo above is my absolute favorite picture I have ever taken at the Lawrence Kansas farmers market. I think it’s because I want to live in a world where a big sister is given some money (note the careful carrying of it in her hand) and told to head off with her little brother so he can pick out a pumpkin. He likely thinks it’s the best pumpkin ever, in the history of pumpkindom, and is so happy he could pop, and she was in charge but let him decide what to get.

The Cook’s Market folks had some spectacular dahlias this week.

These two were just chillin’ with their pup. LOVE their expressions as they clearly were enjoying the morning.

Corn bundles! Grab them while you can, no front porch fall display is complete without them.

How about some fresh young ginger. It’s so pretty and makes me want to get out the wok and chop some veggies and make some rice…

Above and below – women LOVE their flowers and pumpkins. I stand united with them.

Pumpkin spice latte cake. I do not know how he manages to get the pumpkin and the coffee flavors to play so nicely – neither overpowering the other, but he does. It’s a favorite. Heck everything is my favorite at this time of year.

Kind of like these two below. Everyone is happy at the market on Saturday morning.

Yes, some of these came home with me. It’s officially time in case you missed it. Fall candles came out as well… woodsmoke, clove, oak, leaves.

As I was about to get in my car with my basket, I spied this family coming in. Please make sure you look at the daisy sandals. Squeal!

Here is what came home with me this week. A very good selection if I do say so myself.

    I always enjoy your market photos, especially of the people. It’s nice to see the friendly faces and their joy in being at the market…. especially the kids.
