A decent weekend. Nothing special overall.

Went to the farmers market and picked up a few things. Spinach, Swiss chard, peaches, strawberries, goat cheese and qihoa maple bread. Also picked up a dozen jumbo eggs. I was talking with the woman who I bought the eggs and she told me they have 500 hens along with tons of other animals they raise "organically". Imagine getting eggs from 500 hens every day.

Also picked up some pepper plants, some type of small tomato plants I have never heard of and finger egg plant. Those only grow to about 6 inches long.

Picked lemon balm, lime balm, a spearmint plant, a mint plant, dill and pineapple sage.

Weather was quite hot Saturday and quite nice yesterday.

Took Summer for a nice long walk and she was happy and panting like crazy the whole time.

It seems like Europeans are waging war against the right and austerity. France and Greece gave a big middle finger to austerity yesterday.. When will we wake up here.

Primary day here tomorrow. Republican, democrat and the biggie is Amendment One. Amendment One is primarily for or against making gay marriage and covering gay couples with insurance benefits. It looks like the American Taliban is going to win.Several cities cover domestic partnership with their insurance and this would become illegal. Very sad this is likely to pass. Let the lawsuits begin.

Peace.

You must have a very good farmer's market.

The U.S. politicians are teachers and not learners.

They have taught the world to hate and lean right. Europe refused and are going back to the left.
