Miss Shannon


 Last Saturday the downtown St. Paul Farmers Market officially opened for the season.  When I arrived about 9 am, only about half to three-quarters of the usual vendors were there but the floral displays were beautiful. I was tempted to buy hanging baskets for my front entrance.  Instead I decided to wait for a week or two until I was sure that the weather stays warm. . .one never knows in Minnesota.  As I strolled around I saw this marvellous looking woman who looked like another floral bouquet, and stopped to chat with her.  Miss Shannon is from St. Paul and graduated from Cretin-Derham.  She is a dance instructor and operates a dance studio with her husband in Minneapolis.  If you want to learn more about her and their studio, their business and the events at their studio, check this link . Better still, go to one of their events or take some dance lessons. Miss Shannon and her friend posed for me and seemed content to continue browsing the market. Perhaps I should have asked for a dance demonstration among all the other flowers on display!

    I remember going to that Farmer's Market many years ago. One thing that stands out in my mind is all the gladiolas for sale. We don't see those out here very often.

    Hi Kate. Me again. HITS is an acronym for Horses In the Sun, an international jumping competition. They set up shop here in Ocala every year, January thru March. It's a huge deal and great fun. The horses are incredible as are the riders. And it's free to attend except on the weekend when they charge a nominal fee. I've posted about HITS a number of times. If you go to Ocala DP and enter HITS in the search box you'll bring up a number of posts. I've got one more post coming from this year.

    I love her pink hair! And I am jealous that you found her and took the portrait, not me.
