After the fury over my ruined Sunday ended, I decided to reclaim my weekend by doing something FUN and positive for the whole family. Fortunately, this past weekend I was given the extra day to do so.
Ah, Labor Day! I'm not quite sure why we celebrate you, but I sure am glad for the bonus weekend and excellent sale merchandise nonetheless. Yea for Labor Day!
On Monday morning, my husband and I loaded our son and his bright red Radio Flyer into the car and headed downtown to the Dallas Farmers Market...
... and hand-picked veggies grown in our home state!
The sellers were all too happy to offer samples from their crops and we were all too happy to accept them. (That's a slice of fresh cantaloupe my son is devouring in the comfort of his wagon.)
Several of the vendors took a deserved break for the holiday, so we weren't able to peruse the Market's array of meats and cheeses, nor the handmade goods that I've heard so much about. Oh well! I suppose there's always next time.In spite of the humidity and possible threat of rain, it was a pleasant way to get some of the week's grocery shopping done AND support my local farmer!
A very satisfying day, indeed.

Here from jj's but prior to that, I was here from Margaret's...apparently today's the day I'm gonna blog hop til I drop.
Great pictures here, love your header, and you made me laugh. Enough reason for me to visit again :).
Those pictures should be on the cover of a magazine. I'd almost feel guilty grabbing some fruit . . .nah.
