from my weekend home in grand rapids with some fantastic beings. love dem so very much.

from our walk in blandford nature center the other day

i'm home on the east side for labor day weekend, spending some moments with my family after a positive first week of my 'junior' year.

yesterday we ventured out to detroit to its thriving eastern market, complete with an abundant supply of local produce, potted mini-cacti, street performers, cute families and smiling faces.

a friend has been telling me about this market for a while and i knew taking my mom and sister would be a great opportunity to experience it, but as soon as i saw a guy with a huge sign whose capitalized hand writing wrote, "i see greatness in you," i knew it was probably the right place to be.

so we got some veggies, a ton of peaches, 5 pounds of blueberries, a couple cacti, and happened upon a printmaking shop where i picked up a great print to remind me of the day, all while getting to know the city of detroit a little more.

cool.

my mom likes blueberries.
