i should tell you

man. i was going to be too early to work, so i stopped at this little coffee stand on the corner and ordered an iced raspberry mocha. it had two shots of espresso and a lot of raspberry syrup in it. the thing is that i neeeever drink coffee. usually i get a big can of arizona raspberry iced tea. yuuum.
but the coffee made me minchy and i felt like my heart was going to beat itself right out of my chest. so no more coffee for this girl.
today we took a little field trip to the farmer's market across from the white house. we got a little tour which was pretty cool. i bought a loaf of sourdough, a honeycrisp apple and some dill cheese.
they're usually around on thursdays, but this is the last one until spring, if they have it again. i guess they need to get all kinds of city permits and have it approved. here's a fun fact: this is the first time there's been a white house sponsored farmer's market in that location since JEFFERSON.
lafayette park is all decked out for halloween. i resisted the urge to jump in the piles of raked leaves. there was a cop car parked on the side walk.

that's kind of an interesting thing about downtown DC. you'll show up one morning and all of the flowers on a whole street have changed. two weeks ago they changed from ..not daisies but something like them, all yellow.. to pansies. and i saw them planting bulbs underneath so hopefully in spring there will be pretty tulips or daffodills or something. hopefully i'm around to see them!

i am SO excited to wear my costume tomorrow and see what everyone else came up with. what mine lacks in imagination is made up for with handmade goodness.
