Pretty soon I'll be recycling...

No, we don't recycle...yes, I know the importance of it and the backlash I'll get from my sister in law. Yes, I'm sure we'll start very soon...

For now, share in the joy that I went to the farmer's market this weekend and enjoyed myself...and I took my reusable bag...that's a start!
No, I didn't buy anything on that table because I don't eat it, but it did look pretty. I would probably eat that okra, but I don't know how to cook it outside of frying it (YUM) so I decided to pass.
My loot consisted of blackberry jam for Dave, fresh peaches, homemade tamales, parmesan and crushed pepper wheat bread (to.die.for...drizzled a little olive oil and mozzarella on it and had it for lunch yesterday...), and a new plant for a shaded area in our backyard. I'd say it was a success!

Here's to your week! Let's make it a good one, friends.

What do you do with all of your recycling then? The town I live in offers free blue box pick up but we have to pay for each bag of garbage we put at the curb. Sheer brilliance if you ask me - everyone recycles and composts!

YUMMY!!! i went to a farmer's market this weekend as well but mine only had fresh fruit and veggies! no yummy bread, jam or tamales. no fair ;)
you did better than me bringing your reusable bag. i actually didn't even end up buying anything at ours. everything looked good i just went looking for flowers :)

we didn't used to recycle either because we were never provided with a bin but now we have one and it's the same size as our garbage can and we fill it to the brim! hopefully your city gives out bins ASAP!! ;)

Farmer's market! How fun! I wish we had a really good one in our area, but unfortunately we don't!

I am a fellow non-recycler as well (bad bad bad). I just have too many other things to worry about! That farmer's market looks lovely, and that bread with olive oil sounds AMAZING. yum.

Oh thank goodness! I thought I was the only one left who didn't recycle. Well, I do at work, and I'm going to start (like you) at home.

I love Farmer's Markets. The fresh fruit and vegetables always smell delicious!
