Today was our weekly Farmer's Market/play at the park morning. I love it- there is something so therapeutic about seeing all the fresh produce and various other homemade goods people are selling. I also love being known there. This one lady today said, "I see you brought your little city with you!"
I was thinking after I put the girls down for their naps how much I love the market, its atmosphere, and the concept behind it- people bringing whatever they do best, be it produce they grew, bread they baked, preserves they canned, and making a profit doing what they love. They can tell you just how they grew it (pesticides they did or didn't use), what ingredients they used, how they ground their grains, etc. There are no ingredients you can't pronounce.
Then it hit me- someday, I would love to do what the soup lady was doing. Today I bought a container of cold Thai curry squash soup that I had sampled and loved last week from a lady selling three cold soups each week. She keeps her list of items simple, she displays it very tastefully, you could tell she enjoyed talking with customers and other vendors (in a non-annoying way). It's no secret I'm not dying to get back to nursing in the future, though that may change. But it would be so fun to sell seasonal baked goods at a farmer's market!
Don't hold me to it. I might be an empty-nester before I do it. By then, I might not want to. But today, it's fun to think about!
P.S. I can't upload pictures while Jake's in Cali, so wait til after next Wednesday if you only check our blog for pics!
