Today is one of those days here in Hoosier Land. One of those days that makes you glad you are alive and glad you are in Elkhart County! Low humidity, bright sunny day. Low 80's. This is the day I will "store" in my mind to recall during those dark winter mornings when the sky can barely light up enough to drive to work without running your headlights all day long.
Another reason to be happy today? Its harvest time in Indiana. The sweetest sweet corn, peaches, green beans, tomatoes, blueberries and the melons! I am like a drunken sailor reeling from one drink to the next on the constant stream of luscious fruits and vegetables making their way to my kitchen.
One place they are making their way from is the American Countryside Market, CR26, just south of town off of SR 19. Rising to occupy a huge hunk of the flat farmlands, you cant miss the bright red barn color and bright white trim. This is a busy beehive of activity every week. Heres a link to their website with all the details:

In addition to all the great things to eat there, there are also crafters items, and a part of the Quilt Garden Tour that is located all around Elkhart County this summer. These are huge quilt blocks interpreted in summer blooms.If you havent given yourself the time or the gas to take a vacation this summer, spend a little of both to see these lovely gardens.
Enjoy the weekend and remember, SEIZE your day!
