An ode to the farmers market

We really like going to the downtown farmers market.
We sort of think coming from Portland gives us farmers market credibility. And while I didn't go to allll the farmers markets in pdx, over 9 years I went to quite a few. This big one here in Albuquerque is by far the coolest farmers market I've been to. It's bustling. Lots of kids and babies being worn and pushed. Live music on a grassy lawn with big trees giving shade. Good music, most weeks. Today was great. Folk-y with lots of instruments and little people dancing about. I always get a latte and sit while the boys and I take in the scene. Sometimes I grab produce. Today they shared a croissant (with its chocolate insides on their little faces). And it's always sunny. That part doesn't get old, even with Oregon style afternoon rains the past couple days... this morning was about 70 and sunny. Perfect Saturday outing!
