I started my day today with a visit to my neighborhood farmers' market. Every year I get so spoiled by getting the most beautiful produce, direct from the farmer who grew it, that I turn my nose up at the grocery store crap in the winter. It's just so absolutely fresh and full of flavor, and keeps for so long. Probably because it didn't spend days on a ship or truck being transported here from who-knows-where.
Alright, while shopping at farmers' markets are a great way to reduce impact on the environment while supporting local farmers, it's nothing new for me. I'm realizing that I haven't been making a big enough effort. What else can I do? I'm running out of ideas. Ugh.
Abbey and I went for a hike today on one of my favorite trails, Angels Rest. It's out in the Columbia River Gorge about 30 miles west of Portland. It climbs up to a little mesa with a spectacular view of the gorge. About five miles round trip. That was my cross training today, and cheap entertainment, just the cost of gas.
