only in socal

yesterday i went to a scrapbook store i recently found. it was so-so, but i found what i was looking for, so that alone was worth it. (you'll see it in a future layout.)

anyway, right in front of the store was the weekly neighborhood farmers market. why is it that i always forget how much i like farmers markets? the produce looks and tastes great, most of the stuff is organic, and it's cheap. besides that, i like knowing you're supporting smaller farms.

i bought asaparagus, strawberries, and an avocado (that cost 50 cents!). the strawberries taste quite sweet, considering it's january. isn't the strawberry season months away? the rest of the country is buried in snow and i'm snacking on ripe strawberries. only in southern california!

i think we are so spoiled living here. you really can't beat the weather!

i hope cincinnati was good and devin bonded with your grandfather.

so, when are we going to go to a good scrapbooking store together?

Geez. I just got mediocre strawberries at Kroger for, like, $4, because the kids were so desperate for them.

Luckies!

well, GG, you're just going to have to come out here and go to the farmers markets with me!

the one in santa monica is really quite nice. allison and i had delusions of grandeur last summer and thought we would make it to that market every week, but i think we went a grand total of ONE time! but, seriously, great produce; many of the famous chefs in la go there.
