7月27日(木曜日)2023

 以前ほどの活気は見られませんが、夏の間は毎週木曜日午後に地域の農家が野菜や蜂蜜、ペイストリーなどを出す市が街の中心の駐車場で開かれています。先週覗いてみてブルーベリーがとても甘くてに美味しかったので、今週も行ってみました。お店の他に、今日は高年層のグループ15人ほどがバンジョーなどの楽器や歌で楽しそうに披露して場を盛り上げていました。値段はスーパーよりちょっと高めでしたが、まあ地元の農家の応援も入っているので仕方ないと思いました。

    それにしても今日は湿気もあって強い日差し。歩くと汗が出てきます。家のそばの池から上がってくるガチョウ?の群れが呑気にその辺を闊歩しています。

    Farmers Market has been held every Thursday afternoon at the parking lot of Belmont Center during the summer which seems smaller compared to the one before. They are selling vegetables, honey, pastries, and so on. I went there last Thursday and bought some blueberries. Since they were so sweet, I went there again to get it. This time a senior group was playing light music and singing pleasantly, it made the atmosphere joyful. The prices were all a little higher than regular supermarkets, but I thought in terms of supporting local farms, it might be understandable.

    Well, it was a really humid and hot day with direct sun on us. I sweat a lot while I was walking. A flock of geese which were from the pond were walking carelessly on the road and sidewalk.
