Really? It’s Friday — we did it?! Yes folks, just when you thought you couldn’t return one more work email or commute one more minute, Frolic Friday has arrived and a bit of extra play time is here, like a long-lost friend or favorite pair of flip-flops. Let’s kick off our collective shoes, and claim our right to play outdoors.
Why not…
- Take a trip to the farmers market and make smoothies or homemade ice cream;
- Blaze new trails! Go biking, hiking, or roller-blading on a favorite or new trail. While you are on the go, don’t forget to watch for wildlife;
- Watch the sunset from a favorite spot — the back porch, balcony, or on a blanket in the park. Mother Nature puts on quite a show, and we often forget to take advantage of her kindness and beauty.
As always, it doesn’t matter what you do, just get out there and celebrate life. Unplug and let your senses connect to the natural world — the natural rhythms of life at a slower pace.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a farmers market to get to. Yay for berry season!

We have some great Farmer’s Markets in my area and I don’t take nearly enough advantage of them. This is a good reminder to get out and see what’s there. Might take a hike this weekend too. Got to start building up material for the new blog.
Started yesterday by helping friends pick tomatoes for the farmer’s market. Today is Farmer’s Market day in the park. Brings together a rather nice crowd. A nice day in the shady park and get to have some fun playing outdoors!

We have always a wonderful time at the farmers marked.It is always a winner.
In our house we have been making homemade ice cream outside for a while, fun for kids and adults. Here you can see how http://www.activekidsclub.com/pages/outdoorchef.html
I got an ice cream maker for Christmas and have been LOVING it all summer. I just blend up fresh fruit from the garden/market and throw it in — add a little sugar if it seems to need it — cheap, gourmet sorbet for kicking back on the porch, all summer long.
Thanks for the encouragement! I think we’ll be going the homemade ice cream route since I want to do some variations on some great recipes I have.
Thanks for all the input, y’all! Good to see the world is full of ice cream lovers like me.
Thanks to Kari for sharing the video link — she always has great info at her site, so I hope you will add it to your RSS feed.
Also, let’s start using our Twitter names in comments if you have one — would love to make sure everyone is connected there, too. I love the community that we are forming, and so happy to have you all in my life.
Happy weekend!! Cheers- Bethe
