Farmers Market & WV Botanical Gardens

Happy Saturday! We didn't want to waste this beautiful day so we got up early this morning around 8:30 am to go to the local farmers market for the first time! I forgot my camera but I will bring it next tie so I can take pictures! We also got up because WVU tailgaters were already being noisy outside oh well! I am so glad we went and I know we will be going back every Saturday we can until the winter!

Here is all the yummy food we got! All for approx. $30. Not bad especially for super fresh farm raised food!

I finally got some local honey this guy has several beekeeping sights a 10 mile radius around the town! It is awesome and I have heard it can help a lot with allergies! It tastes very flower and clover-y, very different from generic store bought.

This bread was still warm they had baked it fresh this morning. Olive Rosemary was Justin's pick! My pick a stuff Chibatta with spinach and feta! There was only one left. Glad I grabbed it because it is delish!

Farmstead Cheese! Like a very creamy cream cheese yum! Organic kale in the bag, WV Gold apples they are pretty crisp and sweet, and butternut squash I am going to roast it!

After our trip to the market and back we decided to go check out the WV Botanical Gardens! Which is a lot closer than I thought it would be. Justin always figures out secret ways to get to destinations! I took lots of pictures! :)

On the way to the Gardens!

I love fall but this weather today was more like summer!

Justin! You look good with pretty trees!

I cant wait till the leaves turn brighter colors! We need to come back when they do.

...I don't know, I guess it is an excited face!

Sunshine! Vitamin D :)

We met some friends...

...and disturbed some while eating their lunch. These guys were really eyeballing us!

These 3 pictures are why I love fall! COLOR! also the smell of fall I love and basically everything, who am I kidding!

Have a great rest of you Saturday!

What are you planning this weekend? OR have done? Going to join the hubby watch the Penn State Game! Have a great Columbus Day weekend! :)

It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,

 Would you be mine?

This morning was absolutely gorgeous! Nice and cool and sunny! It is almost my favorite season!

A quick breakfast. I didn't feel like dirtying up a bowl so I just left it in the container.

Mixin's: Chia seeds, and coconut flakes.

Pretty tasty a quick breakfast with my coffee with coconut creamer, and then I went out to do my morning exercise. I am going to have to change my routine when I start working, because I am not going to have time to exercise in the mornings.
I did 3 laps around the stadium and 3 times up and down the law school steps. I am trying to push myself with running, I make it a goal to start running when I reach certain poles and then have to run until I reach another. It works well and helps me push myself. I wore my new Underarmor shirt today, it is pretty nice and keeps me cool.
I came back and took a shower, checked email, and cleaned up our apartment a bit.
The yogurt kept me full for quite a while and drinking lots of water. Go me! So when lunch time rolled around this is what I had.

La Tortilla Factory High Fiber wrap, turkey, some shredded cheese (microwave for 1 min to melt the cheese a little) then I added some cut cherry tomatoes and Sabre garlic lovers hummus, a bit of pepper ground and then wrap it all up! So filling.

Ice tea with a splash of cranberry juice and chia seeds. They turn into a slushy like gel when you soak them in liquid. It looks weird I know but it is pretty good, like a slushy gel drink, reminds me a bit of bubble tea with out the chewiness.

The maintenance people were coming by today to change the furnace filter so I left the house for awhile. I went to the strip mall with Kroger grocery store to look at some of the shops. I found a Vera Bradley store! (Justin knows that is trouble) I also went into a nice jewelry store called Joyce's the lady cleaned my rings while I looked around now my engagement ring and wedding band are all sparkly. They get dirty so quickly. They had some beautiful and quite expensive jewelry in there, but it was fun to look. I also went into Chico's and I bought a cute belt that I think will look nice with a dress or to belt a sweater. Can you tell I am excited for fall!!
Justin came home and then the Comcast guy came to hook up our cable for us. Now we have interesting shows to watch. Although I am not the biggest TV watcher. Then I made dinner! I didn't snack at all today so I was pretty hungry around 5:30 for dinner. I basically whipped up random stuff that we needed to eat up. It was a easy fast dinner, not the most healthy but nobody is perfect.

Pasta with light alfredo (by Classico), mixed veggies, light polish kielbasa with scallions and a perogie.

finished of the little bit of pasta that was in the box and the leftover kielbasa, and 3 perogies in the fridge, that needed to be cooked so they wouldn't get freezer burnt.

It was a nice day. I have tomorrow off and then Wednesday is my first day on the job. Hopefully I will still have enough energy to blog. Time to go spend some time with my sweetie!
