you win some, you lose some

and today we lost some-- two casualties to be exact. Ben's bike and our bike rack.

It's a long story that involves an extremely large speed bump and lot's of kicking oneself, but this was what Ben's bike came out looking like.

Won't be using this sucker for a while:(

So instead of biking to the farmer's market, we drove, and tried to salvage the day by surrounding ourselves with beautiful things.

Here's a peak:

heirlooms

peppers

harvest bounty

figs

south carolina's finest

tomatoes

green goodness

the last taste of summer

So this afternoon, in honor of the lemons life was throwing at us (ie: broken bikes)

we made lemonade

to go with our fresh farmers market bread
and miniature heirloom tomatoes.
and the world became a brighter place.
