 If you've never gone to a local Farmer's Market, check out the Springfield Mo Farmers' Market.   

The market features 90 venders, selling farm-fresh vegetables, eggs, hand-crafted jewelry, baked goods, beef, pork, chicken, fresh cut flowers, plants, cantaloupes, watermelons, fresh corn, and many other items.

 I recently found out about the market from a client.  Not only does it save her money, it is a great way to shop for weekly food staples that are home grown without the use of harmful chemicals or pesticides. 

Nothing tastes better than home grown tomatoes, new potatoes and Amish pastries.

 Located north of Battlefield Mall, at the corner of Glenstone and Sunset, stop by on Saturday morning .  The bell rings at 8:30 sharp.

Staying home for July 4 weekend, my hubby and I decided to dust our mountain bikes off and ride through some of the bike trails now offered in Springfield Missouri. 

We just signed up for the Multiple Sclerosis Bike run in September, starting at the high school in Clever, Missouri and ends in Joplin Missouri.  It is approximately a 180 mile round trip.  Not to confuse the issue, we are the escorts (we'll be on Motorcycles).  The participants will be riding their mountain bikes, etc.  We are doing a test run to see how difficult it is for the riders.

Galloway Creek Greenway, part of Ozark Greenways, runs from Pershing Middle School past the Springfield Conservation Nature Trails to the Old Iron Bridge that once was Highway 65.  Approximately 5.5 miles of riding, parking is available all along the trail, the best being at Sequiota Park.

 Sequiota Park, one of many parks,  was founded in 1830, owned by private owners for many years.  It was used previously for a fish hatchery.  Today, with picnic tables and play grounds, this is a wonderful spot to come, relax, walk the trails and enjoy the beauty of nature.

The children will like exploring the caves that run back throughout the park and feeding the geese that occupy the lake.

Riding 10 miles from the Springfield Conservation Nature Center to Pershing Middle School and back was wonderful (once I was able to get my breath)!  

Take the family and enjoy a walk in the park. Tomorrow, we'll try a different trail.
