I took off for a walk this morning & enjoyed my first Cedar Rapids Downtown Farmers' Market of the year.
We were out of coffee beans, so I picked-up bags from Black Top Roasters from Decorah, Iowa and Hagers Roasting Company from Quasqueton, Iowa. I also got a loaf of delicious vegan lemon cake from Cheryl's Flour Garden in Cascade, Iowa (where her awesome Mom & Mom-in-Law were handling the check-out).
I'm always excited to have Rehberg's Pork in the freezer (nothing better than a grilled bacon burger) and I picked-up a yummy jar of *It's Just Sauce*.
Next stop was Revival on the River happening at the NewBo City Market.
I was immediately drawn to the bright colors of The Iron Garden.
I had to stand and watch the steam engines for a while … thinking about how much my Granddad would have enjoyed them.
I picked-up a few goodies … a table, a cute metal goat and a Cedar Rapids T-shirt from Red Ball Printing (another of our friends in the neighborhood).
I especially love living downtown on weekends like these.
