Summer Fun :: Farmer's Market

Summer time is full of exciting activities, fun adventures, & yummy treats. So, I want to share a series of posts of MY SUMMER FUN with YOU! I hope you enjoy and will share your summer memories and days with me too!

One of my very favorite parts of living in the rural farming communities

of the East Coast is fresh fruits and veggies.

From local Farmer's Markets

To random veggie stands where you serve as your own cashier

{gotta love the trust, right?}

And the best part is...well...of course....THE TASTE!

Nothing like that FRESH grown taste!!

Do you buy from a farmer's market in the spring & summer?

Does your community have smaller veggies stands where you can

buy & go by just putting your cash in a jar?

Summer in my neck of the woods just would seem

QUITE complete with going to the state fair.

With all of my travels and living overseas most of my life, I haven't ever really had a lot of time to be invested in the fare that fairs provide, but being from rural farmlands, it reminds me of HOME....well, at least one of my homes, and I just kind love it!

Tractors!

Prize Farm Animals!

Mechanical Bull Rides!

Carnival Games!

And of course.....the FOOD!!

{I forgot to take the pic of our funnel cake & stand so I borrowed one from here and here.}

But the best part is sharing all of this with the one you love!!

Have you gone to a local fair or carnival this summer? What was YOUR favorite part?

One of my favorite parts of summer comes in packages of all shapes and sizes, with various names & backgrounds, hearts, & personalities.

What might that be you may ask??

FRIENDS!!

This summer, I have been blessed to not only spend time

with 1 of my old college pals

...not merely 2...

...but 3!!

Catching up with their dreams & accomplishments, their heartaches & sorrows; reminiscing about old memories and making new ones to carry in our hearts until we see each other again; meeting and/or learning about their special someone and their littles -- there is just NOTHING like it!!

I wrote a post about this after the first visit, but I realized that it is SUCH a cherished part of my summer that I want to share it here in my summer fun.

Have you been able to catch up with old friends or far away family this summer?

Who and what was your favorite part?

Whether it is pool side or beach bumming, summer just isn't summer without a cool dip in some type of refreshing water.

Salty air. Breaking waves. Sandy beaches.

Cool water. Chlorine-scented bathing suits. Warm sunshine on your skin.

The Best Part = playing with family and friends!!!

Gotta love summer fun!

Ever since my childhood, my summer time has been marked by this uniquely Maryland activity -- CRAB PICKING!

My pop pop would buy a bushel or two of crabs and get the whole family together, and we would pick crabs.

Now I am not a seafood fan. {I know...it's shocking to most people considering I grew up on an island, but well...there you go!} However, originating from "the Eastern Shore" and spending every summer here, you learn a thing or two about picking crabs.

This year, Pop Pop turned 80, so it seemed super fitting to have a crab picking celebration in his honor.

I didn't pick crabs myself this summer,

but I truly love watching my family do it.

Yeah...this is summer fun to me!!
