Oviedo Farmers Market - Happy 4th!

We kicked of July 4th weekend with a visit to our town's first farmers market. I am so excited we are going to have our own market the first Saturday of each month.  I think they had a great turn out too.  We had produce, local honey, spices and jellies, plants, herbs and even antiques from my favorite local store. 




My Dad is going to be so happy I got him that jar of watermelon rind jelly.  He has been craving it and this will make a great surprise.  There was even a band playing some country music for us as we checked out the vendors. I hope to get more pics next time. I was too busy exploring!
 
Hope your 4th has a real home town feel.  I love the parades and fireworks shows. We always gather with friends and the kids have a pie eating contest.  Here's one of my favorite pics from a past fourth celebration.
That's Jack second from the left and Kara with the white t-shirt second from the right. This was 2008. Can you tell who won? lol  That would be Cooper celebrating in the middle. Have a safe weekend.  Until next time...xoxo

    Don't you just love the laid back feel July 4th has about it. I don't think I have ever heard anyone say they didn't enjoy the 4th.
