Fleas, fields and rally

Plant City Flea Market. this man said $10 when you take my picture! We did not pay him and he laughed. He is selling Roosters, the hens were home laying brown eggs, that he sells, rabbits, guineas and shoes!!!!


Here are his animals. I wonder what his home is like, and how the chickens and rabbits are taken care of each day. And people buy.











On our way to the market we see the strawberry pickers. They are selling anywhere from $5 to $10 a half flat. Depending on where you get them and what the berries are like. Extra large or smaller. But the strawberry sundaes are good at $2.99. Huge. We split one.




And this is an air picture of the Brooksville rally. This rally is held at an airport, as I previously wrote. The top runway is used during our stayby the usual air planes. We did see sky divers one day. The two runways at an angle and the spaces in the middle are where 1335 motor homes parked for a week. There were 2035 people that walked in for a day. And 16 new RV's sold by the dealers there. So, altho they were disappointed at the number of motor homes there, the number of walk ins was good. And the vender's were happier. A good time even with the rain and wind.

While at the flea market we bought some vegetables. Broccoli, peppers, cabbage, tomatoes, onions, large sweet "strawberry" onions, avocado, (one for me) bananas. And then at Parksdale I bought 4 cucumbers for $1, 5 Dunlap grapefruit, $1. & 5 red peppers for $1. The other vegetables were a dollar per item. Well, banana per bunch, & tomatoes were 4 for $1. So we will be vegetarians for the nest few days. The grapefruit is white, sweet and seedy. But are so good I do not mind picking out the seeds.

And now it is about time to fix some supper with all this fresh goods. Talk to you later. jkc
