What are you, French?

Hubby has been teasing me as I am obsessed with my latest Farmer's Market score. A crunchy loaf of delicious, whole grain, organic bread. He says my lunches have been looking rather "French" lately. ha! They have looked like this



and this...



I am almost out so will definitely be hitting the same booth this Saturday. I also scored some fabulous fresh flowers for a grand total of $5. Love that.



Fresh flowers are something I buy weekly at the Farmer's Market. Such a great pick me up for not a lot of dinero.

The beginning of fall is definitely in the air here and I am loving it. We've been sleeping with open windows, playing outside, and just enjoying the break in weather. Ahhh, fall is definitely my favorite time of year! I adore the newness of everything, pumpkins, sound of school buses, mums on my front porch, cinnamon candles, non-stop football, beautiful leaves....the list goes on!

In other news, I found a running group! It is actually a group of women ranging in age from mid 20's to mid 50's. One of the nurses at the hospital where I work has been involved in this group for years and invited me to try it out. I am so glad to have found a group of women runners! My last running group was fine but it was composed of mostly men who were HARD CORE and honestly probably weighed 100 lbs. soaking wet. They were awesome runners and I did learn a lot but I just felt like I was always struggling to keep up. They always ran 8 minute miles and well, it was just kind of stressful, especially when I was having a 9 minute mile kind of day. Anyway, I'm super excited about this new venture!

Hope you are all having a great week! For good measure, here is a picture of my home slice showing off her favorite baby.

That's great about the running group. I'm always intimidated by them because I'm a slow runner.

Shannon, I typically hit the one in Clintonville. There is also one near us in Worthington but it can get overwhelmingly crowded.

LOVE farmer's markets! Ya know, getting flowers is a great pick-me-up. I used to do that, should probably get back on it.
