    Ruining vintage stuff :(

    Do any of you live in a town that has resurrected the weekend farmers market? They do that here and it's a huge success.. From spring to fall we can get the best, fresh produce right here in town...

    It's warmer here in the Pacific Northwest than it was in August.. It's only fall at night.. At 7 pm this morning it was 10 C (50F) and then at 1 pm it is 25C (75F) and to me that's "goldilocks" weather!!! To say, it's sunny and the temperature is JUST RIGHT....
