Saturday Adventure

No doubt, the solution for writer’s block is exploring. These stuffed giraffes at the flea market this morning made me laugh so hard something in my idea bank broke loose. In fact I am laughing as I write this.

Around noon a friend took me to a tiny farm, where a family has an organic vegetable garden. These kinds of things really feed my soul.

I paid for my year’s membership , which entitles me to stop by every Saturday , pay a reasonable fee to get freshly harvested vegetables.

The father was weeding while his older children harvested what was ready. His wife and other children (5 total) hand washed the produce and bagged it for you, all with a smile.

This is my spinach getting washed. My basket contained organically grown cucumbers, baby eggplant, arugula, okra, spinach, and other lettuce.

My next stop was right around the corner.

My husband loves hot, fresh corn tortillas with salt, lime, and avocado slices. I bought two of these and two dozen tortillas.

Then, right down the street, this San Miguel painted restaurant caught my eye.

The choice was hard ( for lunch to take home), but I settled on this: flautas .

I bought a large limonada, looked at these, and headed to the library.

Bliss…
