Eastern Market, Part 2


Eastern Market, Part 2
Originally uploaded by jmsmall2005.
Ever since we went to Eastern Market last fall we've been itching to go back. Unfortunately, the weather has been less than cooperative (to which my constant complaining since mid-January can attest), and each Saturday we've hoped to get up early and go for some famous pancakes we've woken instead to rain and temps in the 30s. And this just last week!

This weekend, however, is glorious, so we made our trip downtown. Spring in DC is amazing--trees a'bloomin', strollers a'strollin', people a'smiling...as we bare our scary white skin for the first time in months. When I lived in Georgetown I would go running in the mornings along the streets of the neighborhood, and it just smelled good outside--perfumey and dewy and...

Well, back to the subject. Unfortunately our horrible diet (whose idea was this?!?) would not let us partake of pancakes (this week), but we did come away with a fridge full of vegetables and the start of this year's garden. We now have a fresh new herb garden as well as some colorful posies to make it really feel like spring. It's April 22--can we safely assume that it won't snow again?
