Simple Abundance

Yesterday, I took the girls to the early morning farmer's market and we indulged in a freshly baked cinnamon roll. We purchased some yummy raspberries and blackberries as well as some focaccia bread and took some time to play at the park. Later, Ellie and I went to the library and indulged in some "Kate's not here getting into everything so we can take our time" time. We checked out 20 books and I taught Ellie how to use call numbers (we had a little book treasure hunt). My favorite find of the day was A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson. I love the illustrations in that book because as Ellie put it, "it reminds us of old times" and Ellie and I love poetry so it was a perfect fit for us. We ended the day making Jam. I have always wanted to make Jam and Ellie put it on our summer bucket list so we decided to try it out. We used the berries from the farmer's market and the jam turned out perfectly! We are having toast with jam for breakfast this morning. :) Enjoy the sunshine!
