yesterday's gratitude

[kitchen_kink]

The farmer's market. Oh, organic local peaches. Oh, the start of heirloom tomato season. Fresh small lettuces, samples of watermelon, goat cheese in oil with mediterranean herbs and the cute boy in the ethical society t-shirt manning the Breadsong booth, who smiled so lingering at me when I bought a baguette from him. More than that, though, the incredible feeling of spirit there, the people of the earth, so close, coming together and bringing us real food, right around the corner from my house. When I'm there I'm both so grateful that I live here, and so excited that someday, I might live in California where this happens all year long.

Free Shakespeare in the park. Year after year. Richly produced, innovatively acted, and better every year. Yes, Taming of the Shrew continues to be highly problematic as a text. But this production...it's a good 'un.

Being someone you talk to about your problems. I'm so grateful for the ability to both listen and hear, and maybe even to help, sometimes.

I was at the market too! And also got the peaches, and some amazing blueberries. And a cantaloupe. Yum!

I suspect I'm as grateful for that last one as you are. :)

Oh, you never know. Every time I go there, I think, "I want to live here." So I figure someday, I will! But not today. :)

I really must go to the Farmer's market. Then I could try amber_phoenix's peach recipe!
