Buskers

Last Saturday we decided to ignore all the household chores screaming for our attention and take advantage of the beautiful weather with our first trip to the farmer's market this season.  We walked around a bit and had some lunch, but the girls kept being drawn back to these two performers and their groundbreaking mix of Ukulele, comedy and juggling.

In Memory of Kors

This week Bellingham is mourning the loss of  young Caleb Kors, who performed regularly at the Bellingham Farmer's Market and the Bellingham Circus Guild.

His unique talent and presence will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.

All Bundled Up for Opening Day

Saturday, April 2, was opening day for the Bellingham Farmers Market. Alas, since mid-March our weather has been closer akin to winter than spring! I guess we got our spring weather in December and our winter weather in March and April. We 'Hamsters don't let the weather slow us down, though, so we bundled up, ignored the hailstorm and rain, and had a good time anyway.

The Hurdy Gurdy Man

"Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity

'Tis then when the hurdy gurdy man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the hurdy gurdy man
Comes singing songs of love."

-Donovan

For Gourdness' Sake

I'm For Ale

This table being sold at the Bellingham Farmer's Market is very cute. Mostly, though, I just like that someone changed the "I'm for sale" sign.

Living Tapestry

I love the different colors and textures of these plants. I really should plant some in my garden. In the meantime, I have this nice picture I took at the Bellingham Farmer's Market. This was in my friend Linda's stall. She owns Back Lane Gardens and has some beautiful stuff! Click here to check out her site.
