Haha, loving that pic of LP in her hat and jeans, like a little artsy indie gal.
Don't you just love Whole Foods? What yummy things did you buy there? I'm beginning to take it for granted here.
Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, you all deserve some over there.

We bought sun-blush tomatoes, rocket leaves, fruit and nut bread, sourdough bread, different cheeses, wines - we both love Whole Foods' wine department as it's such an excellent collection.
They sell rocket (arugula) here, but they use the young, round leaves which lack the peppery flavor of the full grown leaves used in Europe! *whinge*
