Frugal Friday #11 (Saved over to Saturday #2)


Yesterday was a pretty day. August so far has been either cloudy and raining or hot and humid. It was also Farmer's Market Day from 3pm to 6pm.

Walking around there was just enough variety of different vendors to make walking around interesting yet it was small enough to not completely wear you out.

One of our family members was there selling packaged meats, ice cream and homemade jars of jellies.

I came home with broccoli, a pint of blueberries, baby potatoes, cucumbers, spinach leafs and two pounds of the freshest hamburger you could hope to eat.


There was even some live music. The vendors were friendly, the stalls set up looked delightful. I will go back next Friday. They stay open until the second week of October.

It was so hot I wanted to splash around in that pretty fountain. This one of two of the larger parks.


This photo is coming back from the Farmer's Market to The Darling Inn.

This is what I especially love about living smack dab in the middle of town.

We were given $24 in fruits and vegetable coupons which served us well. They even had eggs from 'Happy Chickens' that get to roam free.  The jokes went just flying through my head but I passed. $4.00 was a little too much for a happy chicken carton of eggs! Okay, just one joke. When you break an egg from a happy chicken is the yolk smiling? Corny huh? Guess I better keep my day job!

Have you ever been to a Farmer's Market?

My Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades!

What a great area to live. Our bank is close, our grocery store is close, both being the same as we had in St. Johnsbury. We are going to lunch today in the dining room that's in our building. Roast beef and the trimmings. On Thanksgiving and Christmas, they have free dinners which we are looking forward to as well.

I took some pictures of the progress we have made plus a view of the town. I simply adore small intimate towns. Beauty is everywhere.

Finally got my lids sorted!

From H.O.P.E. thrift store. $3.00 sandals brand new Dr. Scholls!

Looking forward to sorting out these boxes. Some of them have been packed for five years making my stuff seem new again.

Taken from my bank a view of Lyndonville.

My homemade bookshelves. I'm going to get something pretty to cover the boxes.

My bathroom is slowly becoming organized.

Showing no more boxes and if there is a place to hang stuff on I will find it.

Have a wonderful day wherever you are in this world:)
