Connecticut is Mmm- Farm Fresh!

This morning the Baltimore family visited the Litchfield Hills Farmers Market. Chris's Uncle Bill and Aunt Joan have been really involved in making this thing a realty - it is now in its second season and thriving.  We were able to take the furkids - some of the vendors keep dog treats on hand.  A great way to secure a sale from this family!  Anyhow, some of the goodies we came away with include granola that we bake fresh ourselves, pork tenderloins (for dinner tonite - we're still eating pork), peaches, lots of local honey, and dill goat cheese.  We ate something called a dirtbomb - which was dough baked and covered in cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, etc.  So yummy!  And the best part is that all of these goodies came to us directly from the farmers that raised them!

We also had the opportunity for a family photograph.  I wish that I had known about that in advance as I might have put a little more effort into my appearance, but in any case, the picts are for an art project supported by a grant.  The project is called I Am America, and the installation will eventually be up here in CT.  Instead of being in a museum or other building, the photographs are reproduced in grand proportions and put on buildings, in corn fields, etc. Cool, yeah?

In other New England news, the doggies are having a grand time.  Caele is indulging her senses with the local . . . scents.  Jackson is frolicking all over the yard all day long - he can barely keep his eyes open at night.
