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.

I hope it's the best ever.
Happy Birthday.
Happiest of birthdays to you.
I love farm shopping, although my trips either involve a car (far off) or bike (farmers' market close by).
Fields of sunflowers make me smile.
Those flowers are gorgeous. All of 'em.
Does the yellow watermelon taste the same as "regular" watermelon?
On anoter note, I have no idea what theee guys are saying but I like the video and the song.
