Mister Green Jeans

That's a blast from the past; Mister Green Jeans was a character on Captain Kangaroo from the 1950s and 60s. We have a small garden in the back yard which has given us some fresh produce this year which included broccoli, peas, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant. We had eggplant parmesan a few Sundays ago which featured the produce. The eggplant, tomatoes and garlic all came from the garden. I also enjoy snapping images from the garden.

Finally Rain

It's been a long hot summer. We have been able to keep everything watered by using a rain barrel, but have reached the bottom of the barrel this past week after more than 20 days without rain. So it was very welcoming to wake up to rain Sunday morning. I grabbed the camera and got some images out of the front yard.

More Maryland Renaissance Festival

After taking another look at my Maryland Renaissance Festival I saw more images I wanted to share. I am a people watcher which can be seen in these images. You will also see that the people are having fun by the amount of smiles. The festival is in Crownsville, MD on the weekends through the end of October.

Apple Butter Market

Having traveled to Crownsville, MD on Saturday, Sunday we stayed close to home as we went to the Apple Butter Market in Sykesville. The market started a few years ago on the last Sunday of the month during the warm months. The market has grown and this year they have live music. This past Sunday those attending were entertained by Safe Harbor. The next market is on September 26 and the Jenny Leigh Band will be on hand. The market which runs from noon to 4 is a great place to start your holiday shopping as there are crafts, jewelry, food and baked goods (the coconut cake was great). The market is at the South Branch Park on West Friendship Road in Sykesville.
