Olympia Farmer's Market

After the Expo planning meeting, I had one day to actually GOOF AROUND. So, Joanne, Violet and I drove to Olympia and hooked up with Pat & Dana (who live there) -- and we had a fabulous waterfront-restaurant lunch.

After a HUGE meal -- we decided a little walk was a good idea. One of the BEST things about summer is Farmer's Markets. And nobody does it better than Olympia, Washington.

It was one of those stunning summer days. We walked over to a beautiful public park/square/area...with many vendors, craftspeople selling their wares...

The carryout food all looked amazing -- and tons of people were enjoying the summer weather and the freshly made food..

Pat and Violet were looking at the hundreds of plants available...

Pat bought a pottery gift for an upcoming wedding...

This Farmer's Market was a large open building -- with scores of vendors -- fresh butchered meat, fresh bakery goods, fresh herbs...

I was stunned to see that Morel mushrooms sold for $40/lb. They are abundant in our area and apparently I should get in THAT business...

What a beautiful day we spent together, girls! THANKS FOR PLAYING my shoe-shot game! Although you can't quite see it in this picture, Violet has a lavender pedicure...

I took home a loaf of sourdough bread which was absolutely delicious! Maybe the best I ever ate...
