Today was the last area farmer's market for the season :( We left, bag of fuji apples and some broccolini in hand and I felt honestly sad. For the last six months, just about every Saturday morning has been spent wandering the 'stalls' and coming home with an armload of fresh produce. Most weeks included live music...something we enjoyed sharing with Olivia. The other bonus of the market was the close proximity to the railroad tracks. Almost every visit ended with a train whistle and us scurrying down to watch the train go by.
Other than this official change of season, I think my sadness was due to realizing that this family time is over. Sure...we'll still get up and head out on Saturday mornings...but what will we do?? Jimmy's suggestion, and it was a good one, was for us to get back to walking down by the river again. We've been down there many times this summer but the visits did dwindle after August. That's probably exactly what we need...we'll see what happens next Saturday!
