Copley Farmers Market

Oh MY! I went to the Copley Farmers Market today and had a hay-day. The market runs on Tuesdays and Fridays from 5/19-11/24… which means I still have 2 more months of delicious and fresh fruits, vegetables, and baked goods. YUM-MMY. This is not my first time at the farmers market, but I did just start going this fall because I’m not working full time and actually have the hours off that the market is open. I love it. I look forward to Tuesdays so much now! Which, I might add, is AWESOME because seriously, who likes Tuesdays? Today I came home with all sorts of goodies: zucchini, heirloom tomatoes, raspberries, and the best chocolate banana bread in the whole entire country. I bought the big loaf this week because last time I bought the small loaf and ate the entire thing by myself in less than 2 hours. I thought I would be more generous and share this time around. Good thing I bought the big loaf too, because I ate quite a bit when I got home. Then Meg and Lauren had a go at it. And now there are only a few slices left (hopefully, they’ll still be some around for b-fast in the AM). Man, that bread is something else.
Here’s some photos I took today (some at the market and some of my purchases):


Hopefully I’ll have time to swing by again on Friday. Just love having fresh local goodies in the APT. It’s just so “animal, vegetable, miracle”!!

beacon hill.

Beacon Hill is hands down the most adorable neighborhood in Boston. It’s just so quaint and old fashioned, almost like you’ve stepped back in time. The streets are lined with brick rowhouses and are so narrow the trees cover the roads creating a canopy overhead. The sidewalks are brick too, and there are gaslights for many of the street lamps. I was just over there tonight because two of my friends just moved into a super sweet apartment on Temple Street. It’s SO Beacon Hill and beautiful. I hope to be over there again soon, helping decorate rooms and such (one of my life passions). I think my favorite part of Beacon Hill though has to be Charles Street on “the flat of the hill”. It has tons of cute shops and delicious little places to eat. Just love walking around there on a sunny Saturday. It’s the definition of classic. LOVE Beacon Hill!!
