Morning trip out

 It's gorgeous out ... blue skies, not too hot and no rain expected for a few days!!

As soon as I was dressed I headed out. Our small city (?) has a farmers' market downtown every Saturday morning from the beginning of May till the beginning of October. It is a small affair... veggies, home baked goodies, plants etc. But today I was in for a surprise. The parking lots were full... lots of people wandering about and many more vendors than when I last visited. And people were buying!! bet the vendors were happy!!

Then it was off to the grocery store with my list for tomorrow's Fourth of July grilling session/ dinner. My grand daughter and her boyfriend have to work ( Applebee's - he is a server and she works in the kitchen filling orders) but everyone else will be there.

Laurel's dog Harper ( the older hound one) finds fireworks awful. She shakes. Laurel has medicine from the vet which helps. Scout , the black puppy, couldn't care less. Fireworks have been going off every evening but the big town ones will be tomorrow evening. We will really have to keep an eye on Harper.

I like Farmer's Markets! When we lived in Billings, Montana there was a vendor that sold the most delicious chocolate cake/bread at the Farmer's Market there. We would have to get up and get to it early to catch it before it sold out but it was worth it :)

Seems like your weather will be great for your grilling/celebration! Enjoy!

Our corgi barked at the fireworks last year, his first 4th of July. This year he's a bit more scared of them. We'll be staying in and trying to comfort him the best we can. Last night it rained a bit so that kept people from putting them off but tonight I bet it will go on for a long time.

Happy 4th to you and yours!
