One of my favorite places in Birmingham...Pepper Place Farmer's Market. Every Saturday morning this summer we browse the fresh (note: locally grown and mostly organic!) produce, herbs, flowers, and other pretty things at the farmer's market downtown. A great place for a cup of coffee and some live music.

My dear, dear friend Bonnie Lawrence. What a precious blessing. A true kindred spirit. (And yes, I just woke up. I have NO idea why I had my picture taken. What was I thinking?! Better yet, why am I posting it on the internet for the world to see?!)
