Weekend Snapshots:

  1. I spotted a sandpiper darting around a parking lot.
  2. Enjoying a Saturday morning cocktail at Merchant after the Farmers’ Market.
  3. At the Farmers’ Market, we picked up cheese curds, aged cheddar, hot sauce and a flower-shaped cookie.
  4. We visited the carnival on Sunday and I couldn’t resist another summer treat: cotton candy.
  5. The ferris wheel.
  6. Another sign of summer: the ice cream truck. (When I was little, my mom told me it was a “music truck.”)
