note to self: take pictures next time.

What I brought home: tomatoes (lots), corn, Red Haven peaches, purple beans, basil, Italian parsley, cucumbers, yellow summer squash, apples, carrots.

Deb, Saul, and Jonathan picked 5# of blueberries from Dexter Blueberry Farm the day before.

I missed the arugula, and would have bought a lot more basil if I had thought of it.

following an earlier theme, the nicest things today:

Farmer's Market.  I went with Saul, we got all kinds of yummy food and saw some farmers that we know.  It's the last of the strawberries and the start of the raspberries and cherries, so the dessert profile switches next week.

A slightly different piece of organizing software, as simplistic and plain as the "todo list" widget for Google, let me figure out how to keep track of the three or four things I really want to get done next so even if I get distracted there's a link back to a managable and current list.

We all went out for ice cream at Paula's Place.  For whatever reason it's relatively rare that the whole family goes out to eat together, and so it was nice to see how we all get along when we're out of the house.

Dinner was market stir-fry, and I shopped, washed, chopped, cooked, served, and cleaned up afterwards.  Delicious and a sense of accomplishment.  In season: bok choi, summer squash, carrots, sugar snap peas.

hm: food, software, food, food.  my day.

farmer's market report:

lots of fruit - cherries from Traverse City and locally, blueberries, and the last of this season's strawberry crop.

quite a bit of produce - peas, beets, kohlrabi, lettuce, bok choi, summer squash, some asparagus, new potatoes, early tomatoes.

a good time of year, and the market was quite crowded.
