Shoulder Season

I walked through the farmers market in the rain this morning. Despite the inclement weather, I was by no means the only shopper, although I did make quick work of the excursion. It was a bittersweet shopping trip: I bought a half dozen of the last peaches of the season, and it was clear that the corn and tomatoes will be gone soon, too. The greens and apples are plentiful, though, as are the staples of the market, like eggs and meat. Winter squash and sweet potatoes were sporadic, but soon, they will take the place of their summer brethren, right on schedule for October.
