Snagged It

My little car gets decent gas mileage. I'm on an email list with a fun market. The market is in a little town just south of me. The market emails its bargains to folks like me. Yesterday notice was emailed out that the market had a good price on cherries. The red cherries were grown on the East side of my state. This morning I drove over and bought a box of the fruit. Fresh local fruit. Oh my.
On the way home I spotted a strawberry stand. About twenty pounds of cherries sat in my back seat but I just could not resist fresh ripe and juicy strawberries. I bought a little box.
The temps are in the mid 80s today. I found it much nicer to buy those cherries and berries than to mow even a small amount of yard. Wow it is glaring hot out.
I hope you all that are sweltering are doing alright and not suffering too terribly bad.

And if you don’t understand that, it’s okay. I don’t really understand all the time either.

In the morning, I went to the morning market here and bought 2 pounds of cherries. They are on sale and the special aroma of strawberries is very attractive. I usually buy some when they are cheap.

@sallypup Yes, the morning market will be closed at 9am. And there is a morning market every day, including Saturdays and Sundays.
It is indeed a very attractive place, and it is of good quality and affordable price

Did your fruit make it home safe? I don't know anyone who wants to mow the lawn in the heat.

@wolfgirl569 Especially for fruit that is ripe and tastes like fruit.

@LindaOhio: nope. Gobbling the berries and freezing cherries.

The 80's are pleasant to me. It may be in the upper 90's this weekend with an extra dose of humidity for good measure .

Nothing better than fresh fruit.
We haven't had rain in a few days, so the yards don't need to be mowed, which makes me happy. Other than going to the bank in the morning, I don't plan on leaving home until Sunday. I don't like the heat and humidity.
