Beach 1

The series on concerts on Wednesday nights finished tonight with the Tennessee Back Porch band. We skipped rocks and waded in the lake up to our knees. The fog on the water had a silence that seemed heavier than the live music. At sunset the light got a little pinker. I discovered the Erie County Farms wholesale fruit and vegetable distributor today. The standout items were red peppers, giant zucchinis, black plums, peaches, a huge variety of apples, and more greens that I could name. All of this at half the price of any grocery store. The drawback? They close at 6pm and are often more crowded that Walmart. They also have a repectable meat counter with more things I couldn't name. Our cashier worked at lightning speed, knew all the prices and all the foods, and shouted them all out as she weighed them, then shouted the weights and net prices of each food item as she went. I inquired about her skill with numbers, and she verified that she had been to college for accounting but had quit over a man.
