dallas farmer's market

Boyd and I drove over to Dallas this morning, to visit the Dallas Farmer's Market.

I have never been, and it's been on my list of things to see for a while now.

I think I made Boyd nervous with my driving, and I'm so thankful for gps.

At one point Boyd said, 

mom you don't know what you are doing. 

I did get a little lost, but we found it.

My sweet baby boy.
Sometimes I just need a day like this with him,
and it was so good.

Lots of cute pumpkins.

There were so many pretty fall flowers everywhere. 

 We went to check out a bbq place that had been on the food network,

but the line was at least 100 people deep, probably more.

So, Boyd had some ice cream.

I bought some peanuts to snack on,

and I had one of the pears that I bought,

along with a sample of watermelon and pineapple from the vendors.

I loved these murals, although I believe they are still a work in progress.

It was a good day.

It was nice to take a little last minute road trip,

{Dallas is like a road trip to this Fort Worth native},

take some pictures,

and explore something new.

We had just left downtown Dallas and were about 10 minutes into our drive,

when Boyd said to me, 

mom are we back in Texas yet?

Dallas is such a great city, 

but I will always be a slower paced, Fort Worth girl.

I made this broccoli recipe last night.
I also left out the basil and pine nuts like she did.
It was really good, and a nice way to do something different with broccoli.
Thanks Whitney S. for telling me about this.

Happy 29th
{40th} 
birthday to my sister, today!
She will tell you she's 29, for the 11th year, but I'm telling on her today.
we love you.


have a good weekend.

love,
