A change of scene: Cox Farm fresh produce

Slept late today. So instead of going to the Kansas Grown Farmers Market out west of town (where you gotta get there early) we drove about 12 miles south of town to check out Cox Farm produce market. This wonderful vegetable market is open seven days a week 8 am. to 7 p.m. except during the winter.

It was a fun excursion. We found lots of beautiful garden-grown tomatoes, onions, squash , yams, garlic and other veggies, as well as plums, cantaloupe and Northwest peaches. And I appreciated the luxury of being able to load my choices into a shopping cart. At the farmers market, I get a good workout hauling bountiful sacks of produce and meats to my car, then going back to the stalls to buy more stuff.

As Dave likes to say, it's all good.
