It's really easy to find interesting things to view there; it's a pretty big market.

And I'm looking forward to bringing you more images once I'm strong enough to hold up my camera!

They are so artfully hidden, I would have missed them. Everything is utterly gorgeous, as usual. I want some of everything. Thanks so much for sharing Peggy. I look forward to your full recovery and your return to the market when you feel all better.
Warm hugs from Maine, which is actually suddenly feeling some spring heat today!
Love and peace, ec

I appreciate your kind words so very much, my dear Easterncedar!

I honestly don't know how long my recovery will take--maybe a month? It will probably be gradual.

And I'm thrilled to hear that you had some spring heat today!

Warm hugs to you.

I love that color!

Take care and know that I'm sending best wishes and burning sage for you. Let us know when you're back to feel okay!



ETA: Make that two warm hugs from Maine!

It will be strange not being there on Tuesday mornings. But I will heal and then I'll be back!

It's such a varied market that I normally don't have any problem finding new things to record.

And of course, I greatly appreciate your remarks about my up-coming surgery. I will miss all of you as well . . .

I will be taking my iPhone with me and I hope I'll be able to update from time to time.
