A Perfect Saturday with a Trip Downtown

My favorite date day with my husband is a planned Saturday morning downtown.

Don’t linger around your house drinking coffee on a lovely sunny morning in Lynchburg! If you do, you’ll be missing out on something that NO big city or destination location has… an easily accessible, quaint, enjoyable morning spent in downtown Lynchburg.

First you need to go early. Remember the farmers get there early and so should you. Not only is the morning just lovely with the coolness of the dew not yet overpowered by the hot sun of summer that is due to arrive around 11am, it’s just an atmosphere perfect for this “field trip” let’s call it.

We greet the farmers and ogle at all the produce that’s available, everything imaginable, at this point you start envisioning your grandmothers kitchen with counter tops of hot jars ready and waiting a variety of vegetables, hot baths for jars, salts and spices, even though you might currently live in a two bedroom apartment something nostalgic comes over you when your around all this fresh produce.

Breakfast is made up of everything temping a breakfast can offer, breads, coffee, cornbread, pudding, pies, cakes, eggs and bacon, everything wonderful. Now, take your coffee and make sure you get a cup with a lid…and head down the street, since you’ve seen all the produce your now inspired that you ARE secretly a farmer and that you should be tilling soil of some kind, even if it’s a pot on your balcony or a dug up front lawn.
