Farmers Market Love....especially the flowers

Oh how I love the Dousman Farmers market. It's simple, not a ton of stuff at all, but the people that sell stuff there are what make it great. This is one of those things that truly makes me enjoy living in "smalltownville." I have a little more love for one booth (shh...). My favorite little Hmong family that cannot be any nicer. They have THE most amazing flowers.....honestly. My dream is to secretly go to their farm/land and take pictures, I cannot imagine what that looks like, flowers galore. I met them last year when I used to fly in every Wednesday at 5:45 (closes at 6) when everyone would be packing up. They would always save a bouquet for me because they knew I would come. How sweet is that? They have already shown me the same love this year and that makes me smile. I was really excited to see them the first week. They were sooo cute. They totally recognized me and we all had ear to ear smiles. Their daughter (who I would talk to every week) is still at college, but they told me that she said "make sure to say hi to my friend." Me! I look forward to seeing her. Their flower bouquets are unreal....the most unreal thing about them is that they are $6! A $1 price increase from last year =). I cannot fathom that they only charge $6??!!! It is worth $30! So, my hope is to post a picture of the flowers that I buy every Wednesday, b/c I will be getting flowers EVERY Wednesday. There's just something about having beautiful flowers on my table that makes me in a better mood and makes my house look a little more pretty.

I can't wait to see the different flowers that this family is going to bring to me this summer.....
