I’ve been so busy and I’ve gotten way behind on my picture posting. Here’s Steve posing with another of his cool shirts. I’m not sure if this was from last Wednesday or Saturday – I’m lost in my own world these days. Here’s the rest of his collection that I’ve recorded.

The Orchard Man

I had a chance to visit with Bob Karr of The Orchard at Saturday’s Farmers Market. Don’t remember what he was talking about here, but maybe it was his trip to Finland. Since the weather can wreak havoc on his orchard, I asked him how the apples were coming along this year. “It’s a branch-breaking [...]

Bob and Christine Ardnt were [...]

July 17th, 2010 at 11:21 am

Today. At Wednesday’s Farmers Market, I complimented Steve Graham on his shirt, as I do at every farmers market, and we talked about his cool shirt collection. So, today I thought I’d go through the Flyover archives and show you some of his wardrobe. July 14, 2010. I had forgotten my camera when I went [...]

At the Market

May 22nd, 2010 at 8:51 am

At this morning’s market, flowers and herbs. Overcast and mid-60s. Record-breaking day – the earliest the market has ever seen tomatoes. Hoop-house or hot-house or some kind of indoor-ish tomatoes. And the European Bakeshop of Hartford brought scones and croissants, cookies, bread… One of Steve Graham’s cool shirts.

Soup Day

February 24th, 2010 at 9:10 pm

Tracey Graham, head honcho of the Emporia Farmers Market, dishes out some soup today at the Lyon County Extension Office, a fund-raiser for the Farmers Market. I think this soup was sausage potato. My friend, Grace, and I both had the sweet potato-winter squash soup. It was very flavorful and had chunks of fresh ginger.
