Zinnias

Who would not love zinnias? They come in the most beautiful colors and they are easy to grow from seed and love hot weather!. If only there was enough sun at my house. :(  I was coming back from running errands this morning and noticed a sign outside Stoney's Market in Virginia Beach which said "fresh-cut zinnias". Now I had to think about that for a minute but decided there was no way that I was not making a u-turn to check it out. I ended up with this nice bunch. Seriously, who could resist those? 
I have a feeling that I might return to the market for their sunflowers. Also brilliant!

Stoney Produce Pumpkins

Yesterday when I was out doing some errands, I could not believe my eyes when I drove by Stoney Produce on 1st Colonial Road in Virginia Beach. I've stopped by there in the summer but not in fall. At least not that I remember because I've never seen such an extravagant display of pumpkins, gourds, and other fall items. I had to stop and check it out! You can see what I mean from my photos. I love the colors!
