I love our Farmers' Market. It is just so beautiful out during the summer if it is not too hot. Even then, if you go at 10:00 when they open it is very nice. We are so fortunate here as we have the market twice a week one day 10 to 2 and the other 4 to 8. The morning market is open all year. We also have several other markets very close by if the normal days are not convenient.
There is just something extra special about it in the summer. People are out to enjoy their morning, to improve their eating habits by buying organic and/or locally grown products. There is that feeling of "community" you just don't feel at the mall or super market. People are relaxed, smiling, enjoying their families and courteous to others. It just feels so wholesome and good. It is literally a breath of fresh air! And I really enjoyed myself yesterday morning while Jim was pouring cement for his mom. Hopefully he can go with me next time. We both enjoy it in the evening too and love the live music and milling around with the townspeople. It almost feels like Stars Hallow for you Gilmore Girls fans out there.
So inviting!
