My beautiful city...

Every year my brother and I make a trip into the city.

It rained or drizzled most of the day but we still had a great time.

Chelsea, Soho, Little Italy (for lunch!) and the Empire State Building.

I know it's cliche, but I do love New York.

Roadside Stand and Farmer's Market, NC

I'm back from my vacation to the far North Western corner of North Carolina.

The first two photos were taken at a roadside stand by my brother.

I love the one of the peaches, so glad he remembered his camera!

The other three photos were taken at the Saturday Farmer's Market.

The town is quite small and the people were so friendly, everyone seemed to know each other.

I bought organic garlic, homemade raspberry jam and a big jar of local honey,

complete with honeycomb.

Blissful abundance
