This little piggy went to market. . .
This morning I'm heading to the local farmer's market for a tasting of local foods, and for some more canteloupe. I may even bring my guitar and get a few bucks to buy some baklava. Yum!
I was talking with our law professor this week about what it's like to be a vet student, and I was explaning that I think it's important to get out and about and maintain one's well roundedness by meeting new people, dabbling in hobbies, volunteering in the community, shopping at the farmer's market, and so on.
"You think shopping at the farmer's market make's one well-rounded?" she asked.
I guess I
do-- it gets you out in the fresh air, meeting your community neighbors, buying local produce, bakery and crafts, and stopping at the booths of community organizations. It at least reminds me that there is a world, right here in this community, outside of school. She concurred.

Linea and I also noticed that there is a local chapter of
Habitat for Humanity that works
locally. We may volunteer every other week just for a few hours. Some people may recall my "carpenter phase," when I considered a carpentry apprenticeship so I could travel around the world and build homes for underprivelidged/underdeveloped communities. Well, maybe now's my chance to get it out of my system.
