A Love Affair With Herman

Herman’s Produce in Lexington, Virginia, is my favorite place for anything fresh and beautiful or freshly preserved and delicious.  I harvested their fabulous tomatoes all summer (from the shelves)  and now there are crispy apples guaranteed the best of the best.

Even their plants scream quality.  I bought a basil plant that grew into a beautiful round mound with constant leaves to harvest all season, and a giant mum of enormous beauty for only $12.

Herman’s is also a wonderful center for meeting, greeting, laughing, and putting aside the worries of the world.  There is an old rusty tractor “out front” and they have made good use of it to wish their friends the best of Fall and a Happy Halloween.

I do love Herman’s because it’s humble but top-of-the-line, habit forming because you always want more, and because the folks at Herman’s really and truly care.

Note:  This is not an advertisement!  Really.

And I am not actually having a love affair with Herman either.

I know it  sounds that way but some places simply require accolades.

Congratulations Herman!  You have won my heart.

Happy Fall and Happy Halloween from Herman’s

The Chicken Dancing Diva

Halloween Chicken

One Halloween Pam gave me a chicken,

goofy enough for laughs just by lookin’.

Pushing his button,  friends go ballistic

as he  struts around to Chicken Dance music.

Even his head bobs up and down,

so he’s even funnier as a Halloween clown.

A great ice breaker when folks are new,

and lotsa laughter over a good winter stew.

Others  (not friends) are in giveaway piles,

But this friend is home since he guarantees  smiles.

And if you come for a visit you will meet Chuckles too.

Happy Halloween to You!
