Seasons  

Today was the last day for the farmers market here in Oak Park. I wrote earlier this year that we probably wouldn't be going much this year because we were doing a CSA vegetable share, but we ended up going almost every week we were in town, because of the donuts. The market is held in the parking lot of Pilgrim Church, and each week the church invites a different community organization to make donuts for the farmers market and keep the profits. The process must be pretty well controlled, because the donuts are the same each week: perfectly light, crumbly cake donuts, usually still warm.

Each week this summer we'd walk the mile or so to the market, stand in a long line of rowdy Oak Park residents, order a sack full of donuts, and eat them on the grass with milk or coffee. My wife and I mostly had the cinnamon sugared ones, and Miriam (who's about to turn one) had plain.
