Two Blocks In Any Direction!!!!!



It was so nice in Oak Park, to walk everywhere. Two blocks in any direction, I could be happy!!
One morning we walked to the local farmer's market, to buy some "Real" tomatoes for dinner. There were tables of berries, and squash. Mushrooms, and sauces, breads ready for the taking.
Flowers in bunches, to adorn any space. You could palpate the joy in the air. Donuts were being cooked, and eaten before they made it into the bag. Simple pleasures, and all within walking distance. What a wonderful way, to begin any morning.
Upon leaving with our arms full, there was a young girl playing a harp!!! COME ON!!! how many farmers markets can say that!!! It was classy, and quirky, and a cherry on the top, of a great morning. There was a little hop in our walk back to Jenny's condo. We all knew that the rest of the day, would be delightful, and it was.
Several times during the day, I thought back to the morning, and how easy everything felt.
If I could just bottle up, the smell and touch of a good tomato, and throw in a girl playing a harp, AND....a location where you can walk to everything?. Joy in July, may have come in the form of a mini vacation, but I'll take it!!!!
