Shopping
Love running to the farmers market every Saturday. My favorite vendors are: Pete's Pops (homemade, unusual flavored popsicles), Press Waffles, Apple Cider (+Apple Cider donuts) Stand, Leann Wolf Graphics for funky illustrated prints and cards, most of the produce stands have gorgeous wildflower bouquets starting at $5.
