You can get a large bag of the most beautiful yellow squash for a dollar; same price for three round zucchinis. For seven dollars, a whole cherry pie that "makes you want to slap your Grandma"--as we say in Georgia when something is too delicious to describe. People around here are obviously not much into making a profit.
Fried pies, seasoned Balsamic vinegars, baskets from Sapalo Island woven of sea grass and leaf- dyed, bird houses made of gourds--It was an extravaganza of colors and flavors!

I particularly enjoyed talking to the craftspeople, especially hearing the Gullah-Geechee accent of Joseph from Sapalo Island who was selling baskets like proverbial hotcakes.
Then we went to pick up two pair of glasses Mike bought for me--he'd ordered the frames months ago and we just got around to putting prescription lenses in them.
When we got home, the AC had stopped, so it looks like the afternoon project is to do AC repair. It feels like ninety in the house, but I'm under the fan watching two new Masterpiece series (Crimson Fields and Poldark) while Mike works on the AC.
