Singing the praises of the local farmer's market

It is a lovely day today here in Sonoma County, and since I didn't quite get up early enough to make it to church (still recovering from surgery and can't get up before 10am still) we decided to go to the farmer's market in Sebastopol and man, was it cool. Almost like going to church since our church (with a 4 year old) is kinda done inside the church and outside the church in the most amazing garden ever! And of course after the service we normally have an AWESOME Greek/American buffet outside that is just heavenly.

So, the local farmer's market we were at today and man, did that totally rock. All the fresh, organic foods and our favorite -- all that sampling! Of course, there's the hippie element to those events, anti-Bush administration stuff in the live music - were we in Berkeley or the North Bay? Does it really matter when there's the best foods in the land right in front of you?

Uh, no, and I don't mix my politics with my fresh feta cheeses or organic chocolates, thanks! Makes for tummy troubles later on down the line...

I did, however, find a cool lady who was knitting at her booth - she sells her own homespun wool from her own animals...how cool is that? We chatted for a few minutes and I got updated on the Knitting scene in this area pretty fast. Good info to have.

All in all, beautiful day, lovely food, great family company - and then it got too hot so we watched some hockey games at the local rink and froze to death.

Lovely!
