Of Signs and Markets and Zucchini and Such

69°f/29 5°C, overcast. Should be cooler today, with a high of about 82°. Thank goodness.

So a few random things to share today. First, we stopped for dinner last night at the local Mexican restaurant,  and saw this new sign painted on the wall:

I'm not sure who came up with that, but it made me laugh!

The restroom doors are pretty cool too:

Before dinner we stopped by the local farmers market.  I wanted to pick up some eggs, and to check out this interesting vendor---a mobile book store.

Her books are all by self-published authors, and a quick check of several convinced me not to buy them, but I did buy one by the owner of this unit. I'll post a review after I read it. I also let her know about the open mic, and will be able to connect her with authors who may want to have their books in her "shop".

Jessie was at the market with her wonderful baked goods. She has a farm stand on a very rural road and does very well with it. People actually drive out there for her goods. She also sells through various stores in town.

Our friend Annette was there too, so I was able to get my eggs. She had some nice blackberries but I resisted, hoping we will go berry-picking at a pick your own place this week.

Yesterday's project was zucchini pineapple. I was used up a half dozen overgrown zucchini, ending up with 15 pints of faux pineapple. It's great in fruit salads, and many other recipes.

Larry accidentally pulled up some of my onions I grew from seed (even though I had very carefully told him not to pull these! Grrr) so we chopped those up for the freezer. Today we will cut up the other ones he pulled and put them in the dehydrator, as I am out of dried onions, and find them so nice to have on hand.

Saw these along the road yesterday. I used to know their name but have forgotten it. 

In Ravenswood,  this is the city's mural for West Virginia's mural project to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the US.

These last 2 are from Facebook. Point Pleasant is the home of Mothman, and hosts the annual very popular Mothman Festival in September.

All you golfers, take note!

Until next time, friends!
