    Day at the farmers market.

    Greetings all, spring is here and my two favorite Saturday farmers markets are open. Went this morning with my girlfriend Jennifer to pick up all the delicious greens and turnips people are offering. I was in my Stillwater economy wool Blackwatch kilt, Mojo leather sporran and 8inch lace up wolverine boots with a black t-shirt. Sort of Duncanish was Jennifers remark but the boots have been helping my ankle issues. I always get looks and a few nice compliments but today an older gentleman came up offering his hand and asking the tartan. He said he was not familiar with it so I told him the Blackwatch. He smiled and said ok, great and told me his family name and that he was getting a kilt soon. He looked late 60's maybe early 70's so I shook his hand and told him how great that will be. His wife came over and smiled big and thumbs up me with a "you look fantastic." I hope it made there day bright as it made mine.

    Now its off to Warrensburg Mo, for Highlands at the Burg. Looks pretty low keyed games but it should be fun. Hope some Mid Mo Xmarks folks will be there. Im putting on my German Heritage tank made by Bonnie Heather Green. Looking forward to a great Saturday, it has already started off well.

    Glad you shop at the farmers market. Hope you have a fun day at the games.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
