Today was the annual Tomato Day at the Carrboro Farmer's Market. We were up early and it wasn't too hot (80s and just overcast enough to be pleasant), so we ventured out. This is the first time we've made it to a Tomato Day since we've lived here!
They have tomato tastings (cherry tomatoes and recipes using tomatoes), and of course about half the vendors have row upon row of different varieties. We brought home some Sungolds and Hungarian Hearts (which actually are kind of heart-shaped). And of course, we had to get some mozzerella and basil, too, for sandwiches. (By some miracle, our basil plants are still alive, but they only have some small leaves at the moment.)
We also got to hear some great Latin music, and of course Mike found a cinnamon bun for breakfast (a "sunshine bun" made with sweet potatoes).
We were relieved that it wasn't too crowded, at least when we were there -- we thought it might be tight quarters
for the double stroller, but it worked out just fine, and we had a great time.This was also probably our first outing with James having his hearing aids in. We didn't want to risk losing them when he was still pulling them out occasionally, but now that they're fitting well, he's pretty good with them these days. It went fine, and if anyone else noticed them, they didn't say anything -- although Mike did strike up a conversation with a mom who was signing to her daughter. (The daughter was adopted and had
some hearing loss from untreated hearing infections in the orphanage as a baby.)

I want a sweet potato cinnamon roll...
Is that a new double stroller? I don't remember seeing it before.
We bought the red stroller a few months ago. It rolls much more smoothly over rough terrain than do the single strollers. But the singletons are more convenient to navigate in tight quarters and the car seats fit right into them.
