One sunflower plant, please and thank you

Hands full with bags containing great stuff, my dear wife Karen and I could indeed rearrange to carry one last purchase from the Regional Market sellers to the car. She really, really loves sunflowers. One nice plant went home with us.

Healthy lineup

From the end of the table down, my dear wife Karen coached me with my iPhone camera as we walked through this vegetable seller’s shed at the Regional Market. Of course she was right.

The double yolk’s on us

Never had I ever heard of the super egg. Until George Three’s mom Sue bought her two half-dozen and sent me over to take photos at the Regional Market and learn about them. Huge they are. I think I’d be really surprised to find an over-easy over-easy on my breakfast plate!! Two yolks in one…
