Well, I think we covered the heck out of National Farmers Market Week, with all the serious reasons why you should buy your food from our local farmers at farmers markets. So, along with the weekly regional farmers market schedule that follows, I decided to take a break and play cute.
Above is one of our neighbor rabbits on Hawthorne Place, enjoying a banquet on Saturday evening. Below is a bird trifecta of duck, goose, pigeon (sorry, I couldn’t get a duck, duck, goose combination).
As for the top headline, I suppose that some of my Boomer pop culture references are opaque to a lot of readers, but I yam what I yam.
