Planes (to be continued)

What to do on a beautiful day, when we only have half a day free before picking up Grandma and Grandpa H at the airport? We went to my favorite, Oerlikon Saturday market, for picnic supplies then hiked a few miles around the end of the airport runways. We had lunch at the viewing lot with planes coming in right over our heads. Everyone liked the biggest planes best, but the girls thought the private jet was "cute" and that Edelweiss had the prettiest planes.

It's kind of hard to judge how long a hike and lunch will take, and it matters when the bus only comes every half hour and there is a plane to meet. But this worked out perfectly. We were lucky to have beautiful, cool, breezy weather and easy roads. I found out about this hike while looking for stroller friendly hikes via the barrier free wheelchair friendly hikes list on wanderland. Usually those hikes don't look especially exciting, but I might take another look now.

Here are the inevitable market photos, but at the end this time, so as not to be boring. It is peony season here!

 I have to find out what variety this is and plant it!

Tied with eggplant for the prettiest vegetable I don't want to eat.

S waits, maybe too patiently

 If we weren't on our way to the airport I would have gotten these to try. White asparagus is the obsession here, but I am so curious about these. Look how tiny they are compared to the lemons! 

We had a syrup like this (but homemade! elderberry flavor) when we visited E's colleague and liked it very much. Guess which flavor we bought.
