It was a grey, foggy, cool day at the farmers market this morning,* so I couldn't resist bringing some color home. These dahlias are stunning! Dahlias and zinnias have got to be my favorite flowers...I love their symmetry.
Eventually the fog lifted, giving way to a beautiful, sunny day, and we headed up the hill to check out the annual Hillside Garage Sale. Tons of Bernal residents take part in it, and a percentage of the proceeds go towards the neighborhood center. It was a pretty successful outing for us; we came home with a rather random but pleasing selection of goods:
--a kitchen scale circa 1972 (a guess) (we've been craving the ability to weigh ingredients, especially for baking)
--some pretty fabric with a graphic print
--2 paperback books
--a really nice orange-y glazed ceramic pot that's just asking to hold an airplane plant.
Also, three 25 cent cookies being sold by extremely cute Bernal Heights kids were consumed along the route. Yum!
*But still totally busy...plenty busy enough for a tiny Asian woman to steamroll past me with her cart near the free range eggs and run down my left foot in the process.
