So I finally tried that farmers market everyone keeps talking about and wow it was such a different vibe than the regular grocery store. There was a guy playing acoustic guitar near the entrance and a little girl selling homemade lemonade. I ended up buying way too many tomatoes because they looked so perfect but now I have to figure out what to do with them all. My neighbor suggested making a simple pasta sauce so I might try that tomorrow. The basil there smelled incredible too and I grabbed a big bunch. I also found these little hand-poured candles that smell like fresh laundry which sounds weird but actually works really well in the bathroom. I think I'll go back next weekend and actually bring a bag this time because I was juggling everything in my arms like a fool. The whole place had this really nice community energy that you just don't get from shopping online. I also ran into my old coworker Maria who was selling her homemade granola and it was awesome to catch up with her for a few minutes. She gave me a sample of her maple pecan blend and I ended up buying a bag to take home. It was such a nice way to spend a Saturday morning and I came home feeling genuinely happy and relaxed.
