Saturdays at the farmers market...

a couple of weeks ago...

we stumbled onto our local farmers market...

having never before been to a farmers market..

i wasn't sure what to expect...

well...

lets just say...

we've been back every saturday since...

there's something about all the fresh stuff...

but it's really more than that...

there's a pride that emanates from the people...

they are happy and proud and thankful...

that you're there to buy their stuff...

funny...

i don't get that feeling in a grocery store...

...

not to mention that farmers markets...

are just plain fun...

where else is it cool to jam a tomato slice in your mouth..

i could smell freshly made soap for hours.. 

and it's cool to just walk around and explore and talk to each other...

we made sure to take RocBoy and Muffin...

Muffin loved the hunt for "the coolest" stuff...

and of course we brought little SweetE :)

i really think it's the perfect way to spend Saturday morning...

and hopefully at the end of the visit...

you look something like this...

with a bag full of goodies and some beautiful fresh flowers...

ready to go home and dig through the treasures...

and even if you don't buy too much... 

maybe you're just happy with a pretty flower you found on the ground...

either way... we'll be there next Saturday...
