Farmer's Market
On Saturday Winston and I go to the local farmer's market while Dad stays home with Penelope. Winston always remembers to take his Bolga Basket for his fruits. It's a small natural grass basket made by artists in a small village in Ghana. The handles are wrapped in leather, making it comfortable for him to carry it. He also uses this basket to collect leaves, rocks and pine cones.
The first thing that he wants us to buy are his strawberries which he immediately puts in his basket. After buying his strawberries I am free to buy whatever I need. As we walk by stands he looks for other fruits to add to his basket. The last two weeks we've been buying blueberries and the weeks before that it was raspberries, tangerines, oranges, apricots and peaches.
He will also request to buy other vegetables but those go in a plastic bag and after sometime he hands them to me to put them in my bag. This weekend, he bought a red bell pepper, broccoli and some yellow corn.
