Today I just basked in the bounty of Summer. Also at the market today, Modaa was in the Green Booth talking about low emission paint, and the Real Princesses were doing free face painting.

Happy 4th of July! I have made a traditional (and yes, not that original) favorite with my fresh market produce today: Red, White and Blue Brownies with strawberries, cream cheese from the Cheese Booth and blueberries from Santa Barbara. Yum! Enjoy your BBQ-ing today, Mar Vista!
