'Ole Pau Sunday Farmers' Market

Yesterday was 'Ole Pau, and the third night and day of the moon phases leading to the New Moon which will be in the sign of Taurus later in the month. As I was told, this moon's name can mean "doing nothing is pau" or "never ending" . Yesterday was my first venture outing during the reign of Scotch Broom currently at its peak on the island. I worn my I Can Breathe mask, and joined Pete at the South Whidbey Tilth's Farmers' Market. We helped set things up, and then sat (at the tables soon to be used for our School of Hawaiian Sensibilities and Practices -- HO'OMOKU). It was a joyful time.

A young farmer in his place. Kai is comfortable with vegetable food.

The band took their time setting up the sound, and making adjustments. We stayed long enough to enjoy their great sound.

There's Prescott getting the Dancing Cat Cafe ready for business. 

Mom (Brit ) laying out veggie starts, Kai's grounded. 

Maha Farmer(ers) and Frank the garlic man visit before the 11 o'clock ringing of the triangle that signals the market is open.

In the Lushootseed Language this place is called "Prairie Front" this field and the beautiful swallows (which I couldn't snap) let me know there is still evidence of the old reasons for names.
