a week end to myself

So the men went off camping in the 1000 islands. i had the week end to myself. i took myself to dinner and stayed out to catch a sunset right here in the village,on the Erie Canal. And then this morning i got up at 5am and went Downtown to the big farmers market, which we call the Public Market. Talked to a very interesting woman. Since we have been trying to eat according to the Paleo way of eating. I ‘v been making alot of our own food. I can ..I’m home. and i like to cook..so its a win win.

i always try to get to the market early… i don’t like crowds… and i guess a lot of others feel the same way

i don’t know what any of you do when your standing in line but i snap to my hearts content.. mostly because i don’t like to wait.. and this keeps me occupied

Phil also makes these bars and breads. i bought one for Dave.. with blueberries and other goodies in it. she uses honey for a sweetener.

  2. I publication filled with so many stories… thank you ☺ 5 am is so early to me! I think I’ve seen so few sunrises, when kid I disliked crowded markets but that’s because adults use to walk without see children, so now I can tolerate them.

  3. Love pics of farmers’ markets and fresh, clean produce and food. Wonderful. I’m doing the clean eating thing too and feel so good! Our garden is mostly finished except for chard and tomatoes. But they’re delish.

  4. Busy lady! We could have used you this weekend- the busy film festival schedules does not allow for healthy eating at all, even though you need the energy for all the running around!
