the great scooter excursion

We decided to take the scooter further than we had ever taken it before...6.7 miles over hill and dale and past sea, because I wanted some fresh peaches from a farm we love.
And so we went. Over and around and through the hothothot until we pulled into the dirt parking lot at the farm.




There is a breathtaking sunflower field at the farm.
We parked our scooter between Range Rovers and Smarts and shopped.



We chose some tomatoes and peaches and arugula. I heart arugula.



We bought fragrant onions.



We chose the biggest cucumbers.



I asked one of the farmers for a recommendation. His suggestion? Yellow watermelon. Delicious.



The farm is so romantically beautiful.
(This year, I noticed the business card of a photo stylist on the counter. I fear it is no accident that the farm is beautiful.)



There isn't a huge variety of goods at the farm - only what is available and fresh (still dirt covered). Eggplant (purple and white), potatoes, cucumbers and peppers.



And huge bins of sunflowers.

We made our purchases -



(the boys bought me sunflowers for my birthday) and hopped back on the scooter and took a different route home...





where did we find ourselves? Anthropologie!
For a little birthday shopping!
What did we see?



Magnificent measuring cups!



Beautiful butter dishes!



A sophisticated skirt! (On sale!)

K entertained himself looking at cookbooks...



he noted a recipe or two.
And then we went home in the hothothot and had some peanut brittle ice cream.
