One of my favorite spring rituals is the opening of the Farmer's Market at Monument Square in Portland.   I love the sights and sounds, the smell of the plants and my morning coffee, the colors of the flowers, the vegetables and the passers by.  Occasionally street musicians come by and enliven the atmosphere for a while and that, too, enhances my good time.  I pack the Mini Cooper up the night before, show up at 8:00 and get my table set up, sort and arrange my colorful yarns, rugs, pillows, dolls, and then settle back and spin.  I am completely and totally relaxed and happy without any concerns about what else I might be doing -- I am at the Farmer's Market and I am free to watch and admire, talk and listen, sip my coffee and spin my fibers, for the next 5 hours.

For company I have my friend Beatrice Gilbert who is there in the background spinning and selling her pottery.  She quilts, spins, cooks and throws pots, and I'm sure that she is extremely talented at others things that I don't know about yet.  But on Wednesdays she is at the Farmer's Market selling her pottery.  Up above you can see me holding my Beatrice Gilbert cup which is filled with coffee from the Public Market.  The coffee is good, the atmosphere is wonderful, the company is great and, I can assure you, the coffee cup enhances the entire experience.

I am a very lucky woman.

It sounds like a perfect day. You are a smart woman to realize that. Of course with a hat like that the day has to be perfect.

All people deserve very good life time and home loans or student loan can make it better. Because people's freedom depends on money.

You may be a professional in writing academic papers, nevertheless, very often you simply don't have got free time for it! So, don't be irritated about it! That takes just several hours to learn how to write research papers. Moreover, it's a legal issue!

I love going to the Farmer's Market too. I like buying stuff there as they're mostly unique and not sold anywhere else.
