This has been a truly great weekend - spent mostly with my granddaughter, Arya. Yesterday morning we went and picked apples, then spent the rest of morning at the wonderful Brattleboro Farmers' Market, where we had an awesome vegetarian lunch from Shital, listened to live acoustic music and saw some kids and parents from the Garland School (the nurturing Waldorf preschool Arya attends). Then, after nap time, we went and hung out at the Green Street playground. After that we came home and made pasta with homemade sauce and a big salad for dinner.  This morning we went up to the Newfane Flea Market, where we got all sorts of cool stuff, then stopped on the way home and had a picnic lunch on the bank of the West River by the Dummerston Bridge. Life is good!
