Family Day Field Trip
Today was fun. Despite the high gas prices, we loaded Seven into the truck and set out this morning with no particular destination. Our first stop was the Blacksburg Farmer’s Market, which was PACKED to the gills. There was also an art exhibition/sale going on at the same place, so lots of activity. I think either I am A) too poor, or B)not crazy. i am hoping it is the latter. Let me explain why I bring this up. One was the price of Blueberries. $5.50 per PINT. Now, just last week, I picked blueberries at the blueberry farm. $1.75 per pound. Yea, yea, I know time is money. But I would rather just pick them myself. Jon says I should pick them next year and peddle them to the suckers paying $5.50. Hmmm. Not so sure. Second was the bread. Yes, the vendor who made it was a hippy type, and the bread was good. But I can make it myself. I can! $6 will buy me alot of ingredients to make any bread I want. And third, though it was in a nice glass bottle, isn’t $6 for a bottle of Peach lemonade a bit steep? Has it been that long since I left the house?? 30 oz. for $6 to me seems way over the top. So I’ll take the free sample and go home and make it myself, thankyouverymuchandhaveaniceday.
So, I bought rhubarb. Rhubarb I do not grow myself, so this was a well thought out expense.
