To market, to market....to get a weekly bunch of vegetables.....One of the fun things about this area is the huge number of farm markets that have sprung up all over the place! Come summer, everybody's heading out to a market on Saturday -- or on Tuesday evening, or Thursday!
I love to ride my scooter over to the market in the morning. With my topcase on, I'm set for carrying home an assortment of yummy veggies from our local CSA farm, Victory Farms.
The market I attend most often is the South of the James Market in Forest Hill Park.
This is a great city park in a really eclectic neighborhood in Richmond. lots of trees, a good playground, paved trails for walking...and VERY busy farmer's market on Saturdays.
This morning when I arrived (and found a place to park!), look what I saw across the lot!
Someone else has good taste!
The best thing about my scooter, aside from the fun of actually riding it, is the sheer boatload of stuff I can carry around. All my weekly vegetables fit into the topcase perfectly, no squashing the squash or mangling the lettuce!
I don't get to ride to the market every week (sometimes I have to bring my kids and my husband) but when I do get to go by myself, I love to take my Buddy!
Cool post and nice images. Hope you don't mind that I used an image and linked back to this post from HillsandHeights.org If you need me to take the image down please let me know and I will do so ASAP.

ReplyDeletePerhaps obvious to us, but not to you. You can still take your Buddy, and the rest of the family can follow in the car.
did you ever get a chance to meet the other scooterist ? or were you wandering around wondering who that person would be ?
