Wonderful day today. It's actually been very good lately all the way around, thank God.

Derby started a Farmer's Market on the Green. The city and the Cultural Commission signed a contract to allow this from June through October. It started last Sunday with only two farms and Marc Weissmann playing keyboard. This week was again the same two farms, Mr. Beardsley is amazing. He actually saw Helen Keller speak at the Opera House when he was 8 years old. I may have written that already. I doubt it, but if I did, it bears repeating. And he loves to talk about each and every vegetable that you're interested in. He's awesome. The other guy, not so much. He says he has to make a minimum of $300 every week. Mr. Beardsley says $50. They only paid $99 for the entire season so I don't get it.

We're looking to get more farmers and more entertainment. This week Joel just DJ'ed and I think Marc will be back next week. Tonight was the fireworks -- incredible!! And we had FB Lily. They said they'd definitely be interested in doing a farmer's market so maybe it will draw more people.

All in all it was a good day. :)

Almost forgot -- Diana is having Baby Vienna on Tuesday. Her last baby - she's getting her tubes tied. So excited. :)
