I also love the Farmer's Market. Every Saturday morning we're able, we drive -or once, we biked- the 14 blocks down to Center street and peruse the local goods. Let's be honest here, I love buying stuff, but I also love just looking at the colorful food and handmade creations. Once, we saw someone who had painted tires to look like ceramic flower pots. Probably the most exciting event was when a local artist offered to custom-make a decorative gourd for me. (Here is a picture she sent of said gourd as a work-in-progress). It usually takes us at least a few passes up and down the booths before we're done -or before our allotted 30 dollars runs out. All the shiny produce, the fresh cut flowers, the local musician strumming away in the background...it is a well-blended recipe for happiness.
