A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Jason and I have decided to take advantage of the lovely weather and our prime Northern Virginia location and spend some time in and around our neighborhood today.

First stop….our local farmer’s market. It had been awhile since I’d visited the market (which is open every Saturday throughout the entire year) and I was definitely kicking myself for not making an appearance earlier this spring. The market was teaming with plants, herbs, asparagus, free range meats, fresh cheese, and the first signs of strawberry season! We got a little excited and came home with:

Some huge asparagus

A pretty garden bouquet

And strawberries.

Lots of strawberries.

(Keep your eyes out for some strawberry based recipes to come in the next couple of days.)



Next on our agenda….hiking around Roosevelt Island! And possibly a trip to Eventide's rooftop this evening.

How are you spending your Saturday?
