Renegade Market- Shop the Wild Bunch!

From Byrd House Market post:

Did you see the flames last week?
The pizza oven fired up?
The spring rolls and noodles steaming?

Did you stock up on apples?
And sweet potatoes?
And winter greens?
and broccoli?

the butter, the cookies, the honey
the jam?
the chickens, the pork chops, the stewing beef
the wings?

Fido’s marrow bones,
Fifi’s gizzard jerks
Your knitting yarn
His butter salt, her butter sweet

the succulent
the tangy
the creme de la cream
the tops in your stop

at Byrd House RENEGADE Market
3pm til dark
Tuesdays through April

Voting now in the 10th District, on Tuesday Oregon Hill will help decide between challenger David Bernard and incumbent John Watkins for State Senate. James River Maven offers more information on this race, with a provocative post entitled “Who Owns John Watkins”.
