Farmer's Market




Words can't fully describe the Farmer's Market here in Madison. If you haven't been there, you just can't know. On Saturday we went for the first time this year. It was amazing as always. It was packed with people (before 9 am, no less), color, and energy-- not to mention the produce, local cheese and meats, bakery items (cheesy bread!), flowers, local artists and many political supporters. It's always hot, always crowded and so hard to manage with the kids. Usually we park on the family on the lawn of the Capitol Building and each take turns wandering around for a while. It's best to meet friends so the kids can play. Ron is pretty claustrophobic there but I just love to go. Maybe next time I'll leave the family at home so I can really get some shopping done! Our CSA starts this week so we're very excited about that...
All in all we had another nice weekend despite the odd weather (rain rain rain, some tornadoes thrown in). We went to the pool Saturday afternoon only to turn around and go straight home when the thunder started. Luckily we ran into friends and we all had pizza and playtime at our house. School starts again this week. Hopefully Talia will like her new classroom and not give me too much trouble. It's all I want from school- for her to not cry when I drop her off. I don't give it a likely chance but you never know...
