Spring At The Lake Oswego Farmer's Market

Lake Oswego Farmer's Market







Soon, we will be rising bright and early to bustle down to the Lake Oswego Farmer's Market, and I can hardly wait. There is anticipation in the air, people are seeing those beautiful glimpses of sun through the cloudy skies. I can almost smell the glorious scents of flowers, gourmet food and coffee as it wafts through the air in our First Addition neighborhood. In May, when the market goes into full swing, music playing, and the beautiful abundance of Oregon, freshly harvested and displayed in all it's colorful bounty of fruits and vegetables, fresh from the market to your table. My mouth waters just imagining my first bite into a fresh, giant peach, or nibbling on Oregon berries, while I stroll with my bunch of freshly picked flowers, in an array of colorful beauty and varieties of fresh lavender. The food booths are enticing me with their aromas of Pacific NW restaurants, the choices are many, but once the choice is made, I wander to a Oregon wine booth, choose the perfect wine, find a table and feast, all while music plays at the main stage. ah...another wondrous day at the Lake Oswego Farmer's Market. Life is good.

Origins Oregon

Origins Oregon
Oh, you bearers of soft summer music,
humming between pots of pollen,
gathered in baskets
then carted to and fro.

Beware not those who do not understand
your simple job.
They hide without seeing your
gold dusted body.

Please! Do continue!
Amaze us with brilliant travel.
Defy the laws that keep us on the ground.
Continue to make the music
to endless golden days.

The beauty of trees...Just before the stars say goodnight and morning breaks… when the world is silent for just a brief moment if you still your heart and look and listen, your ears will hear the ancient song of these great and glorious trees.   If you are feeling anxious, sad, drained, or tense, then try hugging a tree.
Remember to thank the tree because, by hugging your tree, you are drinking from the well of natural energy cultivated by the tree’s many years on this earth.
