What Do You Want to Make Today?
I love going to the farmers’ market. On Saturdays it is the place to see everyone in town, and for the girl to get face painting and a Pedal Pop. But I really enjoy going during the week (it’s also open Tuesdays and Thursdays) because it is quiet and you have a chance to really […]
