Little Read, farmer's market and birthday party

Checking in with the head volunteer. She was very nice and open...I was glad to meet her.


Anyone recognize the book? It's Julie's book, Wink! The Ninja Who Wanted To Be Noticed. :-)


It's so good for us to see each other in different lights, doing different things.

Our CSA farmer's stand.



This picture is for Wendy...

Montclair Bread Company's stand.

Apple cider doughnut. Sag has been wanting a doughnut for a real long time now and we still haven't made them at home. So glad he was able to have a yummy cider doughnut today. Cider doughnuts always remind me of a trip to Crane's Beach with Cap, Diane, and Erik Moore waaaay back in the Cambridge days. We enjoyed them on a cold, gray, Fall day.

The honey stand.



My man carrying organic, local, seasonal food and drink back to the car. What can I say, that's what's sexy to me these days.


I know. How the heck did I get a picture of Cap with such a big smile on his face?

The kid crowd at Mason's birthday party.

The gorgeous and delicious salad.

Pretty white flowers.

The tot crew. (The kids were not glued to the tv the whole party, not by a long shot. They watched some of Kung Fu Panda, but there was also lots of running around, a penguin pinata, Wii, hot dogs, make-your-own caramel apples, and ice cream cake. (The grown ups also enjoyed the aforementioned salad, quinoa with veggies and cilantro, and a veggie chili which had the perfect amount of spice and heat.)

Melody was so mindful of Aki's (and others') dietary needs. He had a peanut butter and sprinkles apple and lemon sorbet with two kinds of GFCF cookies (lemon wafers and choco chip). Thank you, Melody!

We had a great time making new friends and getting to know new friends even better.

The setting sun hung out with us for awhile on our drive home. It was much more orange in real life. Dramatically warm and luscious.

The kids are now watching Monsters vs. Aliens and we're winding down. What a great day. (Except now Cap has a lot of writing/work to do. It seems impossible for him to have a full home and full work life. I feel bad for him...)
