Under a Blue Moon

Decor, cooking, organization, all the pretty things

6.24.13

Walk1

Every Thursday evening, from May until October, there is a farmer's market just a few blocks from our house.  I'm telling you one of our top items on our new home wishlist was to be within walking distance of a cute, vibrant downtown and Livermore has that in spades.   I have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming whenever we walk around here.

I've been telling everyone that I feel like I'm living in an Andy Griffith television show.  Mayberry RFD could have been filmed here.  

Walk2

Last Thursday I took pictures as I headed to the Farmer's market so you could see what I mean. So let's go! 

I don't think there is anything more All-American than a porch, hydrangeas and a flag.  I bet I could go knock on that door and borrow a cup of sugar.

This picture (above) is a retirement home.  It used to be a hospital in a previous life.  

Walk4

There are picket fences everywhere.  One of the improvements we want to make to our house is to add a picket fence.  So we walk around the neighborhood comparing different styles of pickets and try to figure out which is our favorite.  I have it narrowed down to about ten different styles.

Walk6

When I go again this week I'll take pictures of the actual farmer's market.  It is just the perfect size.  Plenty of selection but not so many vendors that it's overwhelming.

    Very charming!

    I had no idea Livermore had cozy little neighborhoods like this. I have only visited my cousin out in a new housing development, and figured it was all like that. Your little neck of the woods is quite charming! I love and miss sidewalks.

    I would love to live in that neighborhood. And it has always been a dream to have a white picket fence.

Instagram post 2340488496363792013_13069943 I ran out of day (and daylight) to take a real photo so you get a pithy saying instead.  Happy weekend! You are all dear to me. Just thought you should know that.
