I am definitely enjoying the simplicity of life today! I woke up early and headed out for my long run of the week. Running is my therapy...especially when on the trails near our home. Today I was greeted by rabbits, birds, deer, and an occasional chipmunk. It's so easy to take in the beauty of God's creation on these morning runs. I love being by myself - no music, no chatter...just me and my thoughts. Something every woman needs...my poor husband doesn't deserve to be the sounding board for all that comes to my mind! I came home and John surprised me by deciding to accompany me to the Marietta Square Farmers' Market. It was so much fun! We restrained ourselves to just one bag of fresh veggies and fruit and a loaf of artisan bread. We then had a homemade and delicious breakfast on the square. I so cherish this kind of time with my husband...
I really hope that you can find a local market like this in your town - it feels great taking part in supporting local producers. It was neat watching children sample fruits and veggies for the first time and even dogs are allowed in on the fun (our dogs stayed home this time). Despite the heat many were laying on quilts in the shade of the square. What a great time with family...and as cheap as you want it to be! This will definitely be something we file away for use when John and I have a family some day...
