The Lawrence Farmers market opened today! And with it, a change in routine.
Getting up just a bit earlier, off to see the local farmers who are going to inspire me with their wares.
And brighten my home with their flowers... and provide my needed replacement of strawberry jam that elevates my morning oatmeal to gourmet status.
I spied my favorite "cold -weather, hat-wearing couple". They had no choice but to allow me to take their picture once I started spinning a tale about how I "needed" it for my first day of the market post.
There was hot coffee to keep you warm.
Or blankets, depending on your preference.
The chill did not prevent spinners from spinning, smilers from smiling, or friends from catching up on the latest news.
As for me, I am delighted to have locally grown greens for the week.
This gorgeous romaine is going to turn into a salad with a few mushrooms, some sliced hard boiled eggs, a sprinkle of walnuts, and a light vinaigrette dressing that contains a hint of Dijon.
The rainbow chard is for lunches this week. My favorite way. Wilted with sweet onions and tart cherries.
And this jar of insane strawberry goodness, in addition to being amazing on any warm grain breakfast you can dream up, will also make you shiver with delight if you spoon it over Greek yogurt and throw a few toasted walnuts on top.
Now I know it is really spring, regardless of the crazy weather!
