It was the Sunday prior to our departure from Boise sometime late
October 2012. We visited the Farmers Market. Various produce were on
display like cheese, wine,cookies,fruits,candies,lemonade,jams,syrups,
ice creams,tacos,doughnuts,kettle corn, chocolates,paintings,mugs
& bowls,elk meat etc. It was a bright and sunny day and there
was a fair crowd out there. We sampled quite a few things on offer there
particularly wine & cheese offerings. There was a nice circular
water fountain and the kids were having fun. There were benches for
senior citizens to relax, cycle stands to park cycles and water
dispensers to quench your thirst. There were musicians to entertain the crowd. A homeless couple had also parked
themselves there squatting on the floor with a placard stating "We are
homeless. Please contribute what you can". The couple were in their
thirties, were probably African Americans, and in apparently sound
health. Overall a delightful morning well spent !

DeleteWow! You got lot here from the market… Looks like a wonderful place to spend on Sunday. Cute one on your granddaughter :)
ReplyDeleteThat’s really nice to hear about the homeless. Hope they get a home sometime.
The homeless in the US are generally healthy & fit and capable of getting work. But they are lazy and would rather be idle and take alms from people.

DeleteThe place is so clean unlike our markets and very colourful too! I loved the fountains...small small ones!
ReplyDeleteSo, you saw lazy people there also. How do they allow them to beg over there?
I would have loved to taste the 'Kettle corn'!
I suppose there will be beggars everywhere. Except that these two were well dressed and looked well fed & healthy.
DeleteI've never been to Boise so I appreciated these pictures a lot. Looks like a wonderful farmer's market with lots of options. And homegrown wine! And elk meat. Never tasted that! Kettle corn is a favorite of my wife. Thanks for sharing!
