An Adventure

So, today, my friend and I decided to go to some yardsales.
there was a town having a town sale;
I saw the signs last night on a way to a meeting.
Well, we got lost on the way there.
As we wandered around,
we came across a road that led to some very rural parts of NJ,
that we never knew were there,
so close to our town!
it was pretty awesome;
we saw a horse farm, and stopped to see the horses.
We saw some large empty fields,
and thought about frolicking in them
(but we passed them and didn't see a turn around place,
plus we were still looking for the sales.)
We never found the sales, however.
But, what we did find was a farm!
A nice little organic NJ farm,
and it was selling plants and foods.
We explored it,
and looked at their chickens.
We talked to the owner,
inquiring about buying one.
The only one he had for sale,
though, was a rooster,
which he didn't recommend because we live in a neighborhood
(neighbors would hate having a rooster alarm everyday!)
But, he told us about a place where they have livestock auctions,
every Saturday!
I forgot what the name of the place was,
but maria remembers-
thank god she has such a good memory,
since I definitely do not.
There wasn't time to go this weekend,
but hopefully one of the next weekends we'll get to go!
We won't buy any animals,
since we're going to to college,
and maria also goes to her fathers in Europe every summer.
but, it's still really cool,
so we're definitely going to check it out!
Oh, and on the farm, they had Strawberries!
They were really cheep, too,
since they don't have to be sold to the stores first.
And you know what?
These strawberries taste better than any I've ever eaten!
I am going there for strawberries from now on.
We even were allowed to pick our own!
It was a ton of fun. ^__^
We also bought some plants.
I got a banana pepper plant.
And with this plant,
unlike the tomato plants I've had in the past,
I'll get them all to myself,
since my brother and parents don't eat them!
Well, I'll cook with them, too, and they'll eat that,
but I'll also have a nice snack that won't get eaten up before I get any!
Getting lost today was definitely worth while.
This was definitely a super-fun day! ^_^
