Today Matilda and I had our first solo outing. I was terrified, but we made our way to the square to meet Rachel for some Pizza Co. I managed to get her in and out of the car, the stroller hooked up, and some of the blaring sun off her little face. It was roasting. I guess my cardigan was a bit too much of a high expectation for fall weather.
Here she is with Aunt Rach:
Here is our little future gardener:
I did find a dead bee in my salad and I couldn't collapse the stroller...where is Sam when I need him????
Alright, now back to snuggling with my bug and waiting for Emily:)

Hopefully this weekend will atleast be in double digits! Last weekend was a scorcher. Here's what I deem to be a good time this weekend:
Meeme told me she will be attending Creative Loafing Beer Fest 2008 this saturday. It will be held in Woodruff Park, Downtown. Looks like a great time for the beer connoisseur or people watcher!
Suuport your local farmer! Every saturday morning in front of Three Bears Marietta's Farmers Market takes over, May 3 through August 30, 2008
from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. My friend Emily has raves about it. I plan on going my next saturday off!
What you can find there:
Market customers have lots of variety to choose from including heirloom tomatoes, fruits and vegetables that are rarely, if ever, available from the grocery store. We also have lots of staples such as potatoes, onions, tomatoes, squash and beans in addition to pattypan squash, heirloom salad mix, amazing cut flower arrangements, local honey, herbal soap, whole grain breads, fudge pies, jelly, jam and preserves.

If you don't want to venture OTP, Green Market at Piedmont Park is the place to be. Saturday 9-1.
Scott Antique market is this weekend. Go digging for treasure, although pricier than Lakewood, you can still find great deals!
Happy weekend! If you know of anything else fabulous to do, let us know!
