A Very Berry WNBP

Wednesday is, once again, upon us.  Not quite sure what happened to Monday and Tuesday, but these things happen, I suppose.  The days...they blend.  Let's check out what the Wednesday Night Bullet Post has for us tonight:

*I continued in the fine tradition of visiting the local Farmer's Market this morning.  I promised myself that I would make every effort to spare one day per week to wander amongst the fresh produce feigning appreciation.

*I can feign with the best of 'em.

*Today, I went with the idea of scoring some berries.  Specifically, I wanted some raspberries.  Other ground-grown items were open for consideration as well.  But, raspberries were the goal.

Evidence of produce-type purchasing.

*I hadn't planned on carrots.  Not at all.  That just seemed crazy.  

*But then Mel had to go and put up a picture of some carrots and I got all carried away.  

*Carrotted away...

*They offered to take the tops off for me, but I said no because I thought they would make for a better picture.

*There is no limit to what I will do for you people.  Well...there is, actually.  I won't be your surrogate mother or let you talk me into wearing a dress.

*Mostly, though, I try to go the extra mile for you.  

*Did you know you can use carrot tops to dye fiber?

*Since I was right there, I also went to the Greenies Store.  

*That's a lie.  I would have gone anyway.  We were out of Greenies treats and certain Big, Fluffy Kitties will not stand for this.  I just wanted everyone to believe that I was being highly efficient and thinking ahead.

*For my feigned produce appreciation and remembering the cat treats, I decided that I'd earned a trip to the bookstore.  I can't remember the last time I purchased brand new books that didn't involve the use of a gift certificate.  But, I threw caution to the wind and did so today!

*I felt a little dirty...

*Raspberries, even very small amounts, are quite dear.  It was an extravagance and a luxury to purchase them today.

*No one tell Mommy Sheep about how I had to sell Grandma's jewelry and my share of the family burial plot to finance my berry needs.

*But they made for a killer sorbet which be a nice finish to tonight's dinner of roasted 'taters and salad with some wee, little carrots.  

*Drat!  I meant to take a picture of the spinning!  I can't believe I forgot that!  I have a full bobbin of Shetland/silk and another beginning its journey towards completion.  

*I can't believe I forgot to take that picture...  

*I blame the carrots.  They distracted me.  Vegetables are sneaky that way.

Happy Wednesday, Dear Readers.  As we seem to be experiencing a bit of the thundery-type weather at the moment, I do believe it might be time to get the computer off my lap.  I was willing to brave the carrots, but 'sploding computers are just too much in the risk department.

Add that to the list of things I will not do for you...
