Farmer's Market

What's the best part of going to the Farmer's Market? Is it:

• So many wonderful local and organic fruits and vegetables, including peaches, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, pluots, apples; bell peppers, tomatoes, bok choy, lettuce, beets... and more that I didn't have the strength to carry.

• Walking around with my boys enjoying the beautifully sunshiny fall morning.

• Splurging on two loaves of gluten free fresh bread from OctoberFeast--buckwheat and sourdough. (It's not perfect gluten-free bread, as I think it's a little dry. But it's better than the frozen kind we can buy in the stores, and I didn't have to make it myself!)

• Indulging even more, and buying a whole rotisserie chicken from RoliRoti. That is good chicken!

• Sitting down and eating our fruit and bread, and then watching the boys dance to the musicians' music.

• Walking across the street to support the local elementary school and buy a few books at their yard sale.

• Being a part of the community and seeing one family from Anders's preschool.

I think my favorite was watching the boys dance around. I also have a short list of "not my favorite" moments:

• Seeing Anders fall off the wall where he was walking. (thankfully, he was caught by a nice dad on the other side)

• Having CeeCee be grumpy for a good 30 minutes for some unknown reason. Unknown, that is, until I changed her diaper and realized she was really wet. That solved the issue, and she settled down immediately.

I didn't bring my camera with me since I didn't go with Carl. As it was, I couldn't buy all the produce that I wanted. I thought about taking pictures, though--especially a picture of Anders with bread crumbs glued to his face from sticky peach juice, strawberry stains on his chin, and smiling as he danced around.
