We were able to make a trip to the State Farmer's Market last week. I had to get myself some North Carolina pecans. Or as my relatives like to call them, PEE-cans. Growing up, my Grandpa Carr had some big pecan trees in his yard, and we almost always came home with some after visiting. Unfortunately, a hurricane blew them over, but I still feel the need to get my fill of pee-cans while I'm in North Carolina. The closest thing to Grandpa's pecans, are farmer's market pecans. Plus it's always fun to get a little southern culture at the farmer's market. Accents, samples, string beans, nostalgic candy, fresh baked goods, and manners as sweet as can be. Dan can't take the humidity here, but I love this place with all my heart.

| I wasn't brave enough to try Prickly Pear |
 |
| So many flavors of jam and preserves! |
 |
| Would y'all care for some chow chow? |
 |
| Pretty sure these would taste disgusting, but they look pretty! |

| Jack enjoys an orange soda... |
 |
| So many berries! We got some blackberries and made a yummy pie with them. |
 |
| Tasty tomatoes--including some green ones for frying! |
 |
| Jack wasn't quite sure what to think about the yellow squash. |

| Jack is so glad to be an uncle, he always wants to sit next to London and sing her a lullaby! |
And I'm already enjoying those pee-cans.

oh my goodness, that looks like so much fun! I, like Dan, cannot stand humidity - but for a farmer's market like that - well that looks just splendid. I especially love the canned jams!
