Yay!!

The Farmers' Market Picnic in the Park is back! With the return of long evenings and good weather, the Wednesday evening Picnic in the Park has resumed (see some of my September 2008 postings for other observations and some photos). It actually started a couple of weeks ago, but today was the first day I was able to get there. We went onto Daylight Saving Time at the beginning of March (while I was in Chattanooga, actually), so the sun is setting at about 7:30pm now, and the weather is warming beautifully (maximum temps around the mid- to low-20's at the moment). Perfect for a lazy evening in the park enjoying some live music and good food.

The live music was a VERY blue blues band — music to slit your wrists to!

The range of fresh produce on offer at the market is a little different due to the seasons (no grapes yet), but I got some pistachio nuts and some delicious strawberries. I went Mexican for supper and had a super-burrito (a tortilla wrap stuffed with chicken, beans, rice, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, etc., etc., etc.). Dessert was a delicious ice cream cone with handmade almond ice cream. Good thing I had to cycle home to burn off the calories!
