roadside farmer's market

One of the best things about living here are the fresh fruit and vegies you can buy at the local produce stands.  But I am not ashamed to say that some of the produce I bring home has literally fallen off the truck.  I can not tell you how many beautiful sweet onions have come home with me rescued from various intersections that are near freshly harvested fields.  Today it was sweet corn.  The only downfall was that I could only find 3 ears along the roadside (over about a mile's drive).  That just won't be enough for dinner tomorrow.  Alas, I will have to go buy a few more at one of the stands, which will lead to the purchasing of  even more delectable fresh fruits and vegies.  Fresh produce in my house makes me feel rich.  Over the years Tim and I have gauged how well we are doing financially by how much fresh fruit is in the house : )  Its too bad that tomatoes and watermelon don't do well falling off of trucks.
