Market Day

Oh how we love Market Day! Each week Murphy and I pack our baskets and head down town to the Wednesday Market, held near the Art Museum. This season we have had the pleasure of participating in a CSA from Gathering Together Farm and what a treat it is to pick up our basket each week.

Murphy walks into the farm stand, heart sunglasses on, basket hanging off her arm and quickly wins over all the fellow shoppers and booth attendants. Often she can be found grabbing a ripe tomato off a table or quickly pulling a cucumber out of a basket and having herself a little snack right on the spot... the lovely folks working the booth assure me they enjoy her eagerness to eat any and all vegetables, seeing a future customer in the making.

Often Dad will walk the few short blocks up from his office to join us for lunch and a quick stroll around the little loop that makes up this small, yet bustling, market. We usually sit and enjoy a plate of fresh falafel and hummus, watch the people go by and discuss with our Little Miss what each passerby must be having for dinner with all the goodies they are making away with.

Before we know it, it is time to load our vegetable laden baskets into the car. We say, "Goodbye" to Daddy, Murphy reminds him to "wort hard" and we are off to make our way over the little hill and tuck ourselves in for a nap.

Wednesdays, they are pretty special days round here.
