Farmer's Market/Apple Fest
Saturday we went to the Farmer's Market/Apple Festival. We arrived at the tail end though, but we were still able to watch glass blowing (she made an alien spaceship) and we stopped at a booth with wool and spinning wheels. They were selling shawls and had spinning wheels and a few small sheep there too. They let us have two samples of their wool, one in yarn form. We walked around and saw lots of organic (non-certified) food booths. I stopped to talk to a man selling honey. I had no idea there are about 200 types of honey! He let me sample four kinds. I bought a local one he recommended to try to get Jacob to eat, as a safe way to expose him to local pollen. The man was impressed that all the kids stayed quiet while we waited and then while he and I talked and I sampled. So he gave us a little mini-container of another kind of honey free.
I discovered Justin is my big honey lover.
We walked around for a while afterwards too. It was a nice afternoon.
