Stopped in at the Edmond Farmers Market on Saturday and was almost too late to score a home-grown watermelon sold by one of the vendors. I didn’t get there until 11 a.m. and the seller had only two left from what she told me was a half-trailer load when the morning started. So, I bought one and another customer bought the other before I could snap this photograph. What I like about the Farmers Market — aside from the great fruit and vegetables on sale — is the people. I got there in late morning and still had to park across the railroad tracks to the West of downtown. The place was swarming with people loading up on tomatoes, sweet corn, watermelons and all the rest of the garden menu that was on display. I walked around and enjoyed watching all the commerce going on.
