Day 23: Buy produce direct from the person who grew it

I took Zach to a farmer's market at our church after school on Tuesday. I was surprised at how pleasant this experience was. The sellers were so kind and helpful but most of all proud.  Their produce was exceptionally beautiful. And the prices were very reasonable. I was told how to keep my garlic chives thriving and the best way to assess squash. The shopping experience was unlike the overburdened aisles at Wal Mart I usually find my vegetables. I will definitely make the farmers market a part of my weekly routine. I look forward to the summer harvest of area tomatoes and watermelons.
Also:
Later that evening I attended an outstanding performance of some very talented recorder players at Mobile Christian School. The medley included "Twinkle Twinkle" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb." These 4th graders sure know how to carry a tune! I took the cutest one, Ansley,  for ice cream and then home to bed.
