Happy Thursday
Fourth Thursday farmer's market of the season today! Spent time doing my usual market chatting with several of the vendors & a few of the customers. Also enjoyed:
• Listening to a surprisingly long and spirited duet featuring a man and a rooster. (An informant said that the human started it.)
• Oohing and awwing over a six-day-old pygmy goat. His mother died during the birthing process; but if being fawned over by everyone he meets is any help, the kid will be just fine.
• Eating a supper of cheese bread, salmon spread, two types of greens (pea shoots and something the farmer referred to as "faux-broccoli rabe"), and the very first relatively local strawberries of the season. I have no complaints!
• Looking at the beautiful cut flowers and flowering plants I would have been tempted to buy if I'd brought more money with me.
• Smelling (and looking at) the always-lovely handmade soaps of Mystic Water Soap.
• Experiencing the various wonders of an almost-ideal spring day: breezy, partly cloudy, temperatures in the upper 60s. In spite of the tree pollen floating around, it was a splendid day.
