It’s Poetry Friday! Carol has the round up at The Apples in My Orchard. Be sure to stop by to see the beautiful wooden bowls and jewelry that she and her husband craft, plus lots of poetry goodness.
I’ve been vacationing with my family at the Jersey shore since I was a little girl. By the time I started taking my own kids there, a new bridge gave way to a new route that took us past Rosie’s Farm Market. We always made it a point to pick up some fresh produce or baked good, and my kids always teased about it being MY market. So, when Margaret posted a picture of a summer farm market for this week’s “This Photo Wants to Be a Poem,” my thoughts immediately went to Rosie’s where the slogan is “Rosie’s Has It All!” (My family also often quotes that slogan.) As much as I am looking forward to being on the beach with the whole gang in July, I’m also wildly anticipating a stop at Rosie’s.
Vacation Pit Stop
On the way to the shore
we stop at Rosie’s for
Jersey ripe tomatoes,
cucumbers and corn,
pink plump peaches,
blueberries and more –
Rosie’s has it all!

Imagine the Possibilities 
There’s NOTHING better than a good farmers’ market! We often go to two every Saturday in the summer and we need to add a third in the midweek so we can get goodies from our favorite Patisserie!

Your poem brings Rosie’s bounty to life and makes me wish she shipped to the midwest. 😀

Oh! I love stores like this! There were several on our way to Delaware (where my late mother-in-law lived). And I love that Rosie’s holds so many memories!

Rose, thank you for the link to Rosie’s that has it all. I do love Jersey tomatoes and corn. We are traveling to Cape May and then on to the Western South Shore beaches of Long Island to honor my husband this summer in late July and early August. I am looking forward to being by the ocean and beaches once again with my family. Perhaps we will see each other at the Jersey shore. I look forward to seeing if Rosie’s is close by.

I remember that we share a love of Cape May. I haven’t been there in a couple of years. Perhaps a road trip is in order.
