It's 10 am and I am headed to Fairfield Beach 30 minutes down the road. The funniest thing happen. By the shore ~ a woman was doing advanced yoga poses. She had her eyes closed and was clearly in her own little world. A toddler boy ran over, stood right by her side ~ and began imitating her. It was just the cutest site! The boys Mom ran up to take a picture and yoga lady finally realized she had a new friend!
This huge grasshopper was greeting me by my front gate when I arrived home! Isn't he beautiful!
Frank and I decided to take a ride to The Smithy in New Preston, Ct. Everything they carry is local. We bought peaches, herb cheese made at a farm down the road, vanilla tea cake and some AMAZING cranberry chutney!
Headed toward home ~ we stopped at Maple Bank Farm in Roxbury.
Watermelon,cantaloupe, Buffalo mozzarella cheese and hot peppers all filled our bags as we left.
Look at this gorgeous oxen ~ ~ ~
and precious sheep.
Back home just in time for a dinner of watermelon! And for dessert ~ farm fresh tomatoes and local buffalo mozzarella cheese drizzled with olive oil and spices. And some cranberry chutney and organic vanilla tea cake. Yea ~ we basically walked in the door and pigged out on everything we bought!

I would rather spend a weeks worth of grocery money on this kind of food ~ and wing it on eggs and soup the rest of the week!

The apron looks great! Thanks for sharing with me. I love to see what people make from my tutorial. Your day trip looks like so much fun. My big brother lives near Fairfield. I can see there are some really wonderful things to see when we visit him.
