Today we went to the market – we were desperate for veggies.  Since the “mail boat” came in last Thursday, we weren’t certain we would find anything at all still left in the store.  There were Carrots!  The biggest carrots we’ve ever seen.  The proprietress of the store told us they frightened her, but they didn’t scare Raisin.  In fact, she tried to talk me into letting her keep this one as a pet.  I was very strict with her as we need it for dinner.
