it's an extraordinary saturday in the blue ridge. the sky is blue and the air is fresh. the leaves are changing and the cats are purring.
let's hear it for pay day! yay pay day! let's hear it for moving expenses reimbursed! yay uva!
dan, tashi and i have started our day with a visit to the charlottesville farmer's market. first we ordered breakfast from the old fashioned crepe stand. dan and tashi had a banana/nutella crepe. i had a spicy capicolla, tomato and fresh mozzarella crepe. dan drank fair trade coffee and i drank a locally made chai. tashi had a sip of my chai. we ate while watching a fine three piece bluegrass band. occasionally the farmer in the stand next to the band would jump up and join them on harmonica.
afterwards i wandered around and purchased a boat load of locally grown organic veggies at reasonable prices. i also picked up some tofu, made by local intentional community, twin oaks. dan and tashi sat in the shade and played rock, scissors, paper. dan also improvised one of his squirrel stories. this latest one seemed to be about squirrels escaping the new orleans flood. when all was said and done at the farmer's market we went to the salvation army where everything was ratty and overpriced.
this afternoon we'll attend a play at the old michie theater. every saturday they put on a marionette play and today's is rumpelstiltskin. tashi is pleased.
but right now i'm going to make lunch. i think i'll saute fresh kale and tofu.
coming soon, more virginia plant sightings.
