Market Day

We had a busy day today. First we went to the Saturday Market near downtown Eugene. It's part farmers' market, part crafts etc. There's not much ripe in Oregon yet, but we did get some rainbow chard which we had braised for dinner. We ate some Farmer's Quiche at the Field to Table booth, served with baby greens with feta, spiced hazelnuts, and roasted beet dressing--all quite yummy.

After going home to put our purchases away and take Sweetie out, we headed to Cuthbert Amphitheater for the Willamette Valley Music Fest. The locale is quite attractive, and we enjoyed the people watching and music.

The setting reminded us a little of the Greek Theater in Los Angeles.

Was it the music or the people watching that led to her smile?

After dinner we went to see Oliver! at a small community theater nearby. It turned out to be a youth production (all the roles were played by middle school and high school students). Some were quite talented, and the performance was enjoyable. The venue was small and rather primitive. We sat on wooden bleachers (the reserved section on the floor in front was folding chairs). Of course lots of approving parents were there to applaud their kids' efforts.

We walked around the RV park this morning to see the flowers in bloom, including some really spectacular German irises. Some of the RV spaces are actually riverfront, with trees and grass and picnic tables (unlike the parking lot we're in).

The photo doesn't show it, but some of the iris were larger than we've ever seen.
