I love Farmer’s markets.
I even wrote a lovely original short song about it. 🎶
So, not only can you buy fresh produce at the farmer’s market, but fresh baked goods and jars of tasty delicious delights!
Yes! Farmer’s markets may be trendy, but they are growing in popularity!
Join the trend and treat yourself at your local Farmers market!
P.S. If nothing is ready, well you just have to watch and wait!😀
Last night my husband and I were treated to some beautiful music played by a friend of ours, Ben Marti.
He is a fantastic musician and the son of the owners of Morgan Creek vineyards. He performs each Friday night there.

Sadly, while he played these glorious tones on the Steinway upright, people yacked loudly, eating, drinking, texting and all I could think was, “Pearls before swine.” Perhaps a bit harsh. Nice atmosphere, nevertheless. Ben says it’s a salon-style vibe.
Nevertheless, after what happened recently in Texas, the horrible elementary school massacre, and the shootings in Buffalo at the grocery store, the music came to me as a balm, and a healing. I so wished many others could be so comforted by it.
The Debussy pieces he played were especially touching and lyrical evoking a feeling of bliss and tranquility. It felt like you were out taking a walk in nature.
On Sunday there was an open house at the Grand.
The Grand Center for the Arts is a delightful space in the downtown area of my town.

There have been many live performances in the building, as well as live music on the deck in the warmer months.
There is a bar, and during live performances they offer light fare as well to add to the conviviality for the guests.
One of the most unique features are the printing presses in the basement.
To adapt to the times, the Grand has made many changes in its administration and functions in the community.
To stay relevant, it encourages artists to express their talents in exhibits, gallery shows, and public displays. Poets, dancers, musicians, painters, and many more artists, have benefited from the benevolence of The Grand and its supporters.
