The Farmer's Market

Today marked the Opening Day for the Farmer's Market in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids!! Unfortunately, I had to spend my day working at the hospital so I was unable to go collect a week supply of delicious and juicy homegrown fruits and veggies and check out some unique decorations and items for the home. There's truly nothing better in the summertime than a big supply of fresh fruits and veggies! Which is one more thing I'll greatly miss now that my parent's are down in Texas. They had a huge, awesome garden and whenever I visited, I was sure to leave with BAGS full of cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and so much more goodness. Ahh and the homemade salsa!!!! Those were the days..... Makes me look forward to the day when I have a big backyard and can plant a garden of my own! I'm hoping to make it to the farmer's market next weekend hopefully and be able to make some fun (healthy!) Memorial Day treats! Just never know what you can find at those little stands! Until then, hopefully my mouth stops watering thinking about all that fresh produce....yum!
