Go Local Monday

At long last I'm happy to report that I (and Juliet)  finally made it to one of our local Farmer's Markets last week:

The pickins' were pretty slim as it's still a bit early in the growing season here in the northland, but we came away with some lettuce, broccoli, strawberries, and a bundle of little red onions. I'm looking forward to going back each week and watching the whole market fill up with more summertime eats; in the meantime I'm quite content to nosh away on my salads and berries for now.

After our visit to the Farmer's Market, we met up with some friends for a couple of rides on one of the classic streetcars run by the Minnesota Streetcar Museum:

I've taken many a ride on the historic Como-Harriet Streetcar, but when you go with the little ones, what's old seems new again.

After our ride(s) we indulged in delicious, yummy, and very sloppy ice-cream cones by the lake:

...I'm so glad summer's here...   (Go Local food-happenings here.)

Oh what fun to ride that street car ... and be near a lake! I love summer too. The slower pace, the anything goes, the gnats - just kidding!
