After "the boys" went to work, I walked down to the Lopez Farmer's Market that's held every Saturday.
Lots of artisans, fresh organic vegies, specialty foods (Amish muffins: sounds questionable to me!), homemade jams/jellies, Jones Family Farms was there with their gorgeous produce, oysters and mussels, lots of jewelry craftspeople, paintings, etc.
I stopped to get a couple of homemade oatmeal/raisin cookies from a young boy that was selling them and they were delicious! Also bought some hand-painted cards from a young brother/sister team as gifts and made a $5 donation to the Lopez Island Animal Shelter and the two girls that were selling "duct tape bowties" and giving the proceeds to the shelter. I told them I was not in need of any bowties but I wanted to donate to the animals.
On the way back, I stopped to photograph this "rock bunny" in someone's yard:
Too cute, complete with wire whiskers!
Passing Island Marine Center, there was a boat on jacks that caught my eye:
This boat is in SERIOUS need of a re-naming ceremony.
And, Kenmore Air was picking up passengers:
Stay tuned, the day's not over yet!
:o)
What's wrong with coon island?
