Dale, For Sale!

**WARNING: Shameless sales pitch ahead!!!***

SO I have this husband.  He's been off work now for, oh, about 3 weeks.  And he's very sad.  You see, now that the fruit market is closed for the winter, he has nothing to do during the day while I'm at work.  He got a Playstation 3 for Christmas, and the kids are in daycare 3 days a week, giving him free run of the house.

If you have ever been married, or lived with a partner, or even had a roommate, you will understand when I say that this situation is very, very, dire. Please get my husband out of the house!

PSA From Dale

Item #1 - The Washington Cameos Are Here



Item #2 - Look At This Big Huge Bin of Washington Green Peppers



Item #3 - 2008 NW Corn is Not Long for the World.  Get It Now.



Item #4 - It's an Official Pumpkin Patch Now



(Thank you Dale for the pictures!)

Reason #97 I Will Not Enter Grocery Stores With My Husband

Dale: Why are you wearing gloves to put up those apples?

Produce Gal at Local Upscale Grocery Store: Why? Oh, because it's our store policy.

Dale: Uh, do you think the people who picked these were wearing gloves, too?

And that? That is an example of why 1) I love my husband and 2) I don't go to grocery stores with him.

Catch up with the Yakima Fruit Market by checking our weekly post from Around the Market. This week's installment will be ready tomorrow, and there are some really gorgeous pictures this time around.

Good deals listed on the readerboard today. Stop by on your way to work for an apple, and your way home from work for the asparagus!
