Riverside Arts Market, Fallen Sunflowers, and A Blue Moon Over The Ocean
Day 20 of 28 Day Refocus
Jacksonville, FL – February 20, 2021
Saturdays are farmers market days, or is it “farmer’s market?”…either way, this week, I went to the Riverside Arts Market before heading to the Dig Local Market in Jax Beach. I like some of the produce farmers at the Riverside Market and it’s great crowd training for Codee. We typically cruise through all of the lanes before heading to the veggies. We came home with an eggplant, a small butternut quash, a small spaghetti squash, and a few zucchini. Like most outings, we aren’t there for terribly long and I try not to get too close to people, but it’s nice to hear some live music. If you can believe it, there was a gentleman playing a Kenny G. song on his saxophone this week. I was glad a had some tip money.

In The Gardens:
Another sunflower has fallen, or rather, was pushed over by me before it could fall over on its own. It’s hard to believe that two months of joyful entertainment could come from a handle of small seeds and a little patience.

On The Beach:
It disappeared behind the clouds shortly after I took the last shot, but it was a clear enough evening to have a beautiful view of the Blue Moon rising.

Sweating It Out:
What I Watched:
I got my baking fix in TV form today with Christina Tossi’s Netflix series Bake Squad. The special guests rarely choose the entry that I would pick if the Bake Squad was baking for my party, but all of their desserts are so creative that I certainly wouldn’t turn any of them down.
On The Plates:
Some things aren’t exceptional photography subjects, but are so yummy and so fast that I don’t care. I had my standard green drink as my first small meal of the day and I continued with two ridiculously fast and simple plates. The carrots and tomatoes were raw when I started, but the chicken and the broccoli were cooked and standing by in the fridge. I cooked the carrots for a bit solo and then added the rest to reheat and bring it together. For dinner, I had a Chickapea spiral bowl with mushrooms and green beans that I sautéed while the noodles were cooking. Dessert was a favorite combo of fresh blueberries and raw cashew pieces. I could have used a handful or two of greens somewhere, but an otherwise excellent day….
Cronometer:
Garmin Says:
An all around solid day. I like that 20,000 is fairly consistently normal again. My treadmill desk helps.
