Small People at the Market

This is Charlie, the vegetarian dog, sitting politely in a milk crate on the back of a bicycle.  Charlie's  friend has a garden plot at the Sheboygan Community Garden which is on the far corner of the parking lot opposite the market, and they often stop to say hello.

The market is a good place to practice your new walking skills. 

Most Saturdays, there are a half dozen watchful parents following a little person practicing a best new thing...all systems finally coordinated, out of the trees and across the savannah. So long Knuckle Draggers!  The Walking Ape has arrived.

"I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see."  (Robert Louis Stevenson)

(This munchkin followed her shadow all down the market.)

Wonderful face!  Great smile!  These flowers must be for someone special, right?  Nope; they're to decorate a house for sale. (Think about it, ladies.)

 New Millennium little red wagon.  Love the back support; there's a USB port next to the seat belt, too.

Same t-shirts, same smiles, same eyes......brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.

Whatever the Weather, again

Another hybrid weather day; we start out wet again.

The world goes up and the world goes down, the sunshine follows the rain; and yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown can never come over again.

Some people love a wet day.....
