therapy at the farmer's market...

there is something so incredibly relaxing about a farmer's market...there was a time i used to go all the time...it was my weekly visit to get all my fruits and vegetables...and fresh flowers for the house...and then along the way...life got in the way...and i stopped...it has been a few years...

so yesterday...i was meeting a friend for dinner...and she suggested going to the farmers market first...which was conveniently located on the street of one of our favorite hangouts...

i had always gone on saturday mornings...so this was a little bit different...farmers market early evening...the streets were closed off...and it was THE most perfect day...weather wise...

after a week of being completely slammed with bad news after bad news...i needed to get out...and see "new" surroundings...

and as i write that...i am thinking..."God's timing is perfect" =)

i got there a little before my girlfriend...so as i waited...i noticed how quickly the stress of the week that i had been carrying was being lifted...

the combination of the sun...the live music...the people...the laughter...it was exactly what i needed...

my girlfriend & i walked around the farmer's market...surveying all the wonderful fruits & veggies...made our selections...and then ended up yacking the night away at one of our local jaunts...

all in all...a wonderful end to a horrible week...and a beautiful start to a much needed weekend...
