This morning I arose to all sorts of work to do for clients.  Speech to write, newsletter to edit and a few reports to complete. As I had just returned from a 1 1/2 day Seminar that was great but included lots of eating and sitting, I felt I was overdue for a good walk.

So…I pulled on my runners and set off for our neighborhood farmers’ market.  This local market is only open from May to October.  Our neighborhood essentially closes a portion of one of our streets (one that conveniently runs off of Main St.) and invites farmers, bakers, and other vendors to sell their fresh foods and goods. In addition to tasty, locally grown food, there is also live music. A great example of our community’s efforts to create a sustainable community where residents can buy local!

I picked up some pears and tomatoes this morning.

I thought I’d share my walk to the market with you today…

On my way I pass a neighbor’s home that hands-down has one of the best gardens in our area.

At the Market...

Live music serenading me as I browse some fruits (edible type, not people).

Now back at my home...my perennials are blooming! I think these are called delphiniums - I love seeing these blue blossoms every year.

The pears I purchased...
