It didn't occur to me that most areas of the US probably don't have produce stands open in March like Florida.
Want me to post a different one? I've got a good idea. |

It's not open for business due to the "weather up north" but it is a fruit stand.
So if acceptable, the next challenge is:
YVW in front of a a piece graffiti artwork
No random graffiti or gang tags. Something that has to qualify as ART! |

Yes, but as per the OP’s rules, “After 50 challenges, a challenge may be repeated...” _________________ Everybody born before 1975 has a story, good, bad, or indifferent, about a VW.
GOFUNDYOURSELF, quit asking everyone to do it for you!
An air cooled VW will make you a hoarder.
Do something, anything, to your project every day, and you will eventually complete it. |

No worries. I thought I was being creative, but I guess someone else thought that one up already. But since it was almost 200 challenges ago, I guess we will let it repeat.
Current challenge:
