To market, to market...

Our hearts have been full of love and prayers for Ella this week.   She has started chemo and will be having surgery when the tumor has shrunk enough.  Though tears often come to my eyes unexpectedly, we trust our Heavenly Father's care and we are praying hard.  We believe in miracles!

We were able to go to the market in Carbon both Saturdays.  Last week we had given some food to a woman who was begging, so she followed us, clinging to Ron's arm, for the rest of our shopping.  It made us a little reluctant to go again, but the produce is so fresh and so inexpensive!  On Feb. 17th, Ron mostly stayed inside a building, instead of going out in the crowd, and we got some delicious fruits and veggies.

I wonder if he got up early to bring a load to the market, which is open 24/7..

One of many delivery guys.  What hard work!

The cats love the peanut stall!

Loaded with yummy produce...

...but not as loaded as this customer!

Here is our colorful treasure-- all for $14. The little purple objects to the right of the pineapple are purple avacados.  The tomatoes are small, with a tougher skin than tomatoes at home.  The Filipinos like their tomatoes a little under-ripe, so they will be "crisp".  I have not liked the papaya we have had in Canada, but this papaya changed my mind.  Delicious!

Home again, home again, jiggety jig!
