I continue to be amazed at the audacity of the county GOP to have a table at the farmers market. It's everything they hate:

- Government doing good
- Community
- Fresh air
- Exercise
- Vegetables
- Commerce over capitalism
- Diversity in both people and food

Just...find somewhere else to go.

Me on the way into the farmers market: Remember, everything is still going to be here next week.

Me on the way out with a very heavy tote bag: IDK, there may not be a next week, can't risk it.

I love how everyone is downright GIDDY about the first market.

I also realized I may have a ham & cheese problem. Came home with mini ham & cheese quiches, ham & cheese croissants, and ham & cheese scones.

IT'S FARMERS MARKET DAY!!!!!

And yes, I am sitting in the parking lot 5 minutes before the even open. šŸ˜

Got home from my hair appointment, had a good sandwich and was very relaxed and took a little snooze. Woke up, stretched, and Jorge rocketed to the top of the bed and flung himself on my shoulder and immediately fell asleep.

I don't know who might need to know this, but I'm gonna put it out there just in case.

If you're going to be playing flaming bottle toss, you need to score the outside of the bottle a bit - otherwise it's gonna land with an unsatisfying *thunk* instead of a delightfully sparkly clattering of bits.

Yes, taking today off was a Very Good Idea.

It was a half day Friday anyway, but because I have a noon appointment, I would have had to start the day extra early and after being up very late acting like I was 20 years younger - the sleep in was excellent.

April 17th.

Last night, just before sunset, I was sitting by the grill and scrolling endlessly through the internet when I received a message with the content ā€œšŸ—ā€.

I immediately knew what it meant and sent the quadcopter to the meadow behind the house.

Since the meadow was mowed yesterday, it has become more difficult for the wild boars to hide from my camera :-)
